Rumor is, unfortunately not true. Crew flew to KDH yesterday and another trip scheduled for tomorrow. Also, the crew members we spoke with have not received any email as of right now.

Too bad its still in operation.
Only means any new crew members that go there will get cheated on the salary and end of service pay.
You will learn that contracts mean nothing, can change in a split second long before the expiration date,right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right with all FDT, MEL and anything you have been taught since you began this job many years ago.
Hotel porter will intimidate you with his aviation experience,,punch me face and No HR expertise.
Filipina office workers ,,hard working ones terminated for not answering the phone quick enough.
Owner will tell you in meetings that you have no where else to go, ADO will say its all Grey areas in the ops manual, does not apply to us,,we are different.
Yet the GCAA allows them to continue.
Better jobs out there folks.
No one that has left Midex is unemployed now,,most of everyone has a better job and operates correctly without the threats and intimidation of the owner or CEO.

Absolute TRUTH Earl
"No one that has left Midex is unemployed now,,most of everyone has a better job and operates correctly without the threats and intimidation of the owner or CEO. "
Earl, out of all the post I have read for 3 years on this forum and especially on THIS thread, no truer words have been spoken. That is a FACT. And for the record, MY HUSBAND is one of them and YES, he GOT HIS NOC letter ! Screw Assaad.. ( if you can pull all the noses away from his ass long enough)
Now for all you who want to fight Midex, quit looking for someone to do it for you. Either join the team who are actively trying, or keep wasting your time bitching about it on here. Nothing can be won with keystrokes on a forum with no leg to stand on. You have to join the fight. If you feel its a waste of time, then you chose to use your time on here rather than productively and you get what you've given. A good example... you didn't see my DH on here complaining did you . Never once did my DH complain, he chose to spend his time in offices refusing to back down. And its not over.

Have to agree here.
They have cheated all from day one on the salary in many ways under contract.
Seems they think that if they just pay the monthly one then they are covered.
Don't get caught up in this Lebanese bottom feeding outfit operation.
ASSAD if you paid the ones correctly we could have shook hands and said goodbye.
But you lie and deceive all crew members, just another ali babba arab goat with shoes.
You dont even answer emails claims about pilot salary Midex pilots claims to have not paid by you and that you have cheated pilots out of.
If not for so much as a large amount Midex owes all of us I would let it go and say have a nice day.
But since you and the doctor cheated so many of us we decided to ban together and hope to see your ali babba ass gone.
Midex wonders why so many midnight runners.
You are better off to leave once you get your monthly salary than to try and do things the correct way,,since they do not pay accordingly under the UAE labor laws.
End result will be the same.

Check out this. You think the owner could have told the truth why they were suspended
Midex faces suspension after audit - The National
And read these lies from their director general
Exclusive: UAE cargo operator slams closure report | ArabianSupplyChain.com
Oh, but we didn't falsify the logbooks, that was a typo. We didn't make the crew break their rest duty,(Owner) I only told them they would not have a job if they did not fly my electric cars to China after a few hours crew rest in Europe.
Hopefully the GCAA will shut them down soon. I will continue to inform the DCA departments in the rest of the world about midex

They are flying.. but a small bit of good news...
Yes, they are operating. Good news for the awesome guys who are still praying they do. Simply for a paycheck. God love them.
Was just on the back side of the tarmac and watched a 747 being loaded. So yes.. they are operating.
BUT>>>>
I cannot tell you guys how proud I am of my husband and all the efforts that he felt went down the drain and when so many thought he was fighting a worthless battle. He got his NOC letter despite that ASSaad's efforts to try to prevent him from moving on. He's not only hired by the other airline, but he's on the payroll for the past 30 days and on his way to recurrent on the 747 tonight. And it didn't stop there. here's the even better part..
Hubby called Midex sponsor just to check in see where his complaints were going and advise them of a few new players who are experiencing the same things.. and he was told that ASSaad tried to blacklist and place charges on a pilot who recently fled and they refused to do it. They refused to put a warrant out on the pilot because they are seeing the game that ASSaad has tried to play. While we're not sure who the pilot was, we can say that he doesn't have to bear the burden that a couple of other pilots have had to undergo. They refused to put anything against his passport and refused to issue a warrant. So now we're trying to get that warrant removed from the previous pilot as well as any other possible outstanding ones for simply leaving.. as they needed to.
Just because you have left.. or if you're still here and afraid to leave.. go to their sponsor. They are seeing the light. If anything.. email hubby and he will foward to the proper people. Best of luck guys !

Thanks also Sassy pilots wife, for your husband trying to make things correct.
This company cannot go on forever cheating the crews like we are some kind of 3RD world desperate ones.
The sponsors probably thought Midex would become a good freight hauler in the beginning as we all did.
ASSaad and the Doctor went totally out of control with this.
They call him Hitler with his small little mustache and probably other things
You can treat people like SHXT change their contracts midstream and expect them to stay?
Then to try and issue warrants through interpol because ones left and said I know this in not correct?
Just pay what you owe us all, I am just as disgusting with you as you were with me Midex!
Then we can finally shake hands and say goodbye.
But 11,000 usd you owe wont be forgotten.

Midex Airlines
UAE-based cargo operator Midex Airlines has slammed rumours that its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) has been revoked by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
The allegations, which have been circulated on a number of online forums, were fuelled by the death of two post-holders at Midex Airlines – its director of quality and director of safety.
However, speaking exclusively to ArabianSupplyChain.com, the airline’s director general Jassim Al Bastaki stated that contrary to the reports, a number of cargo flights were scheduled for this week.
"I can confirm we have not had our AOC taken away. It is right here in my office with me,” he said.
"The GCAA is running a standard operational audit with us at the moment, which all airlines undergo two or three times a year. Tomorrow at 10am I have a meeting with the GCAA where I must submit the names of my two new post-holders, the director of quality and the director of safety. We had to find people to fill the gaps within 14 days and now it is just a case of submitting their names. The rumours that Midex is out of operation are not true. We have cargo flights operating today and I expect to be operating a cargo flight tomorrow afternoon."
The claims were reinforced by a statement from the GCAA’s director of safety, Ismail Al Balooshi.
“GCAA is currently reviewing the operations of Midex and is working closely with them to resolve operational issues. This is a routine activity conducted by GCAA with all its operators in the region,” he told ArabianSupplyChain.com.

Midex Airlines
Midex Airlines, an air cargo operator based in Al Ain, says it faces possible suspension today as it meets with civil aviation authorities over the findings of a routine audit. One of the main issues between the airline and the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is the airline's difficulty in filling key positions, called postholders, whose appointees need to be approved by the authority, said Issam Khairallah, the president of Midex Airlines.
"We are under review," he said. "Tomorrow we will present our response to the audit finding, and if they don't agree they might stop us from being operational." The problem arose after two of the airline's postholders recently passed away, he said, and at least one of the replacement nominees was not approved by the GCAA. Midex received the findings of the audit on February 28. Mr Khairallah said reports on internet forums that Midex had its Air Operator's Certificate rescinded by the GCAA due to crew documentation irregularities were incorrect. He said the postings were promulgated by a disgruntled employee. Midex operated a charter flight to Afghanistan three days ago and had a flight scheduled for today. A spokeswoman from the federal flight authority confirmed the routine nature of the investigation. "The GCAA is reviewing the operations of Midex and is working closely with them to resolve operational issues. This is a routine activity conducted by the GCAA with all its operators in the region." In January, Midex, with operations out of Al Ain, Dubai and Sharjah airports, said it had bought two used Boeing 747-200s to meet a surge in demand in the Iraq and Afghanistan charter markets, increasing its fleet of freighters to nine. It first began services out of Al Ain airport in 2008, and was the first freighter operator to be based there. Midex Airlines initially planned to focus on serving the cargo market to Paris, where its parent company is based, but curtailed services when the global downturn hit. Where once Midex flew daily to Paris, it now operates only once a week. The airline is carrying about 150 tonnes of cargo a day, down from an initial forecast in 2008 of 200 tonnes a day.

Apparently he was fired from the dfo position and is now the training manager. How can a flight engineer be training manager? He is stuck at midex because nobody else in the world will employ the useless backstabber. They employ him there because he sucks up to the owner and the owner likes that !

The only qual Mclane has is that he is a willing lapdog that will do what ever he is told and will ruin any career that he is told to ruin as long as he gets what he wants. He also beleives he is the only one who is smart enough to know what's going on. His management style is threat and intimidation and the ever stated I can fire you
