There might be something to this Interpol thing in DXB.
The owner of Midex airlines uses this to threaten the pilots there constantly.
For leaving in the middle of the night without the required 30 days notice in the contract.
But what is seriously wrong about this is the ones that left had their contracts changed severely long before the expiration date with terms and conditions.
I worked there for 3 years,,had valid UAE license, GCAA medical,Employment/labor card etc.At the end of this contract they came out and said we dont pay the end of contract bonus because we operate it the free zone and dont fall under UAE labor laws.
Yet if you leave and piss this guy off he will use the labor laws to come after you.
Midex still owes me over 11,000 USD according to the labor laws.
Yet the GCAA shut Midex down for flight time and cover up breaches 1.5 years ago.
Something seriously wrong here with this picture.
I left the correct way all debts paid credit card etc,, yet still was cheated on my final salary with full and complete contract completion.
If I had to do it all over again would be much different.
As I think interpol has much more greater concerns than chasing down ones that owe the banks there , the banks there not so honest anyway.
I worked in KSA for saudia 2 times many years and never seen anything like this.
Always left there with more money than I expected at the end.
Never did they try and cheat me,like in the so call civilized UAE.
Yet the labor department and GCAA allows these bottom feeders to continue operations there.
