Not Defending Midex...
Mr. "I Love Midex"... since I know who you are, I don't neeed to respond to your questions about the Company Websight. Personally, who really cares about the Company's websight or what it says. I know I don't care. That websight was produced long before I came to work here and as you know by working here, nobody really keeps up with anything anyway. Besides, there are a lot more important things to worry about here.
At this time, the main core of business for the Company is flying into and out of Iraq and Afganistan. There is some things happening that if it all works out, will be a huge benefit for us, the crew members (747 and AirBus). As we who work here know, when we are pushing up the power, it must be true. Everything here is rumor... life in aviation.
Me personally, I hope things grow here for all of us. There are no jobs out there to be had... maybe Northwest might hire two pilots shortly though. I try hard not to put down the place that signs my paycheck. And since there really isn't any Midex employee on this websight that they don't know who they are, it might be a good suggestion for others to do the same.
Yes, John Casey is the new Chief Pilot for the A300 crews. Jack Barnes is continuing his work as the TRE/TRI for the AirBus crews.
The 747 returned from AMS a couple of nights ago. I flew it 24th. The plane came to us in very nice condition. KLM did a very nice job. Hopefully the other two... if and when... they arrive will be just as nice.
OK... that my job done for the next six months. Fly safe.
