The idler - Hey don't slag off Midex we are the UAE number 1 airline and will soon over take EK and EY when our passenger operations start, I have been in talks with management to head up the project so watch this space and weep when you come to me begging for a job on one of our 747-200's!!
we are looking in to restoring the L1011's that are up at RAK and starting a new LoCo service to Jakarta and Hong Kong, new features that would include Boeing sky interior and onboard bar and casino. this is not yet confirmed yet due to loop holes in UAE Gambling laws.
We will see, but don't slag off Midex, we have started small just like EK did, and will flourish with our cost effective plan and the restoration of old classic aircraft!
EK spend 300 million on a 777 and pay over the odds for there western pilots, us at Midex can restore an L1011 and have it good to go for under 10 Million, plus our cost effective crew policy will make us UAE number 1 by 2020
