Forgot to add one important item from that last meeting between the Owner and the pilots.
One Pilot asked since we moved from Al Ain and now we are all scattered all over DXB and SHJ there is costs involved,,transportation ones in getting to work
We were told that maybe Midex would give us some kind of allowance for this..perhaps 500AED per month/137. usd.
The doctor stated well you dont fly your monthly guarantee of 65 hours so you really owe me money.
Was a shock to hear him say this, we owe him money?
This is no fault of the crews as many flights cancel and many aircraft constantly AOG.
We did not take this job to sit around a hotel apartment and do nothing.
You know you can throw a frog into hot water and he will jump out because he knows this will hurt him.
But take that same frog and put him in some nice warm water then slowly increase the heat and he will sit there untill he boils himself to death!
We all know right from wrong,,Midex is very confused about this one!
I have never worked anywhere in my life as to where I seen crews threatened if they left without giving notice.
