I'm not sure where you are coming from B737-Guy about the crewmember treatment. Yes, there are problems at Midex Airlines but many are working to resolve the issues/problems. Also, those who feel that they have been mistreated is because they don't understand the rules and the requirements in the UAE. The company is a start-up and as I'm sure you know there will always be growning pains. This is the owners first experience with an airline and he is learning. This is a good place to work and in time it will be a GREAT place to work.
As for Mr. Saboor, yes he was at Saudia early in his career. He is no longer with Midex and has moved on to Orex Airlines. Might try posting on their thread.
PS Not sure why someone who is not involved with the airline s choosing to post on this thread.

I am getting PMs from Midex employees and those in the process of recruitment.
The company is ridden with inconsistencies in policies at the expense of the candidates/new hires. Employment is offered by one only to be retracted by the other.
The recruitment manager needs to go through some serious HR grooming.

Hiring update?
3 man airplanes may not be 'shiny and new', but they can still be 'shiny' and thank God they still remain viable in some markets. Any hiring update for the A300 (even though my current job is 'perfect and problem free' just as all of my previous jobs have been........)? PM works if desired.

Inconsistant
747fanatic is correct, Midex is riding a wave now that will come crashing down on them once the economy recovers.
The Manager of Training is completely random in his hiring, says one thing and does something completely different.
......Very unprofessional.

Some of you make me laugh...
As a happy Midex employee... I read some of the postings here and have to laugh. This 747fanatic guy comes on here... never been an employee here (or so he says) spouting dribble of things he knows nothing about. He says he is only repeating what his "friends" who work here are saying to him but are afraid to speak up. I find that very hard to believe. Most every Pilot or Flight Engineer I have ever known (33 years in this business) had the balls to speak up when things weren't right. Are his "friends" such woosies that they have to get someone else to do their bidding. I hope I never have to fly with someone like that. My guess... you fly some little Cesna and use the 747 title to make yourself look good. Be a man, tell us who you are.
Working in the UAE is not like working in the USA. If you come here thinking it is, you came to the wrong place. The rules and guidelines here are nothing like what you're use to. The owner of this company makes and changes the way things are done at his whim... and he can do that because he owns the company. We may not always like some of the things that are done, but this company pays well, pays ontime and if there is anything wrong with your pay, they fix it. Were given our own apartments to live, transportation to and from work and complete uniforms.
You just have adapt to the way things are here... STOP complaining about it because you ain't going to change it... and know that you have a job when others are looking at layoffs. This is a startup airline, with all the same pains as any other start up. This company is well funded, owned by the man who owns one of the largest freight forwarding companys in Europe and will be here... even when the economy rebounds. We have 2 more 747s coming on property in April.
I said it before... here it is again... if you DON'T work here... then you don't know... no matter what your "friends" have to say. This is a good company and it gets better everyday. Find someplace to spread your trash.

Well said.
Now that's a chap I could communicate with.
As I said earlier, every month that the money is in the bank (a few days late or not) is another mortgage payment made and food on the table.
Good luck guys, long may it continue.
Give my regards to Mr Casey - we spoke in the hotel in Paris.

nothing ventured nothing gained!
Indeed, Midex got a great B747 from Martin Air, former COO did a great job until the day he delivered it, and then voila!
Numerous losers ex-Phuket joined including a red-herring pomm marked for molesting children while camping in JED during his first, and last Hajj.
The American F/E running the show is a back-stabber brought from Focus Air, and sold his skin for some more coins of silver that will not last, as he is not a qualified individual for running the show, neither any of the Italian campers who think they got Lybian oil back in history.
Should you want to show Zero (0) hours on your logbook for the past 6 months flying the B747's this is the job you need. Presently SIM sessions are being organized in USA, and possible affidavits for arrest of the molester issued if he turns up into any U.S immigration posts with his U.K Passport. Also tagged by FAA and CAA for several violations back in Phuket and Ocean. U.A.E CAA in liaison with Jordanian CAA and Middle East GCC for additional reports being audit for unbecoming behavior from training dept postings.

the person of whom you speak is a class act, both in and out of the airplane. His credentials are impeachable and at one time, before retiring, he held the toughest and most coveted of all 747 FE jobs.
Now Sir/Madame, is there anyone willing to vouch for you?
Sincerely

This is getting a bit childish here and starting to smell like B/S.
Midex pays there crews, gives them 3 weeks off with a round trip ticket home every 5 weeks.
The American F/E running the show treats the crews well.
Those posting bad things here don't even work for the company!

Midex is great !
Well, I joined Midex a few months ago and I have no complaints whatsoever! We get paid at the end of the month. We get per diems every day we are here, flying or not. We get free furnished air-conditioned accommodation and free electric/water. We get free transport to and from the airport. We get our UAE medical and UAE licence fees paid. We get our residence/work visas arranged for us. We get medical insurance. We get uniforms.We get paid return tickets home every five weeks and then three weeks off with salary. We are not overworked. Living in Al Ain is great, it is safe , the weather is fabulous. The company has a great future. The aircraft are well maintained. There are promotion/conversion prospects. The management/training staff are professional and very experienced. They are also intolerant of dickheads. So all you morons who have been kicked out of or cannot get into Midex should get yourselves a life instead sending anonymous, insulting messages on this forum. You have no backbone and are totally pathetic.

It is sad that this thread has come down to personal attacks, innuendo and the singling out of individuals because of their nationality. As for Icarus2008, your comments deserve no response and I will not lower myself to this level.
As for the comment about an American Flight Engineer running the show, last time I checked, Mr. Anthony Graas was the Director of Operations for Midex Airlines.
Best of luck to you Icarus2008 and I hope you find what you are looking for in aviation.

Sad.
Lets avoid personalizing this forum.
*****
Isnt Anthony just an aircraft broker? How is he the DO
I am surprised GCAA accepts his credentials.
Maybe thats the problem with Midex.
And the reason why Saboor decided to keep his distance.

Icarus,
I am not an employee of Midex but I can certainly vouch for the integrity of the so called "American F/E". I know him personally and professionally, having worked with him at another carrier. His professionalism and credentials are beyond reproach. Let's not stoop to personal attacks and keep this thread focused on the vaiability of Midex.

Feeling the heat?
Not this neither.
Can't you get any vaseline in Al Ain?
Mackenzie loves it daily!
Does the Dr.CEO knows about all you vagabounds wearing dusted uniforms and melted wings when attending training meetings in the desert? Does he know about his incredible team of experts that are still wondering when would the first sortie to ORY will happen?
Murphy's Law!! you all will end packing boxes at "home depot" very soon, and yes they also provide you with a/c and medical insurance too!
U.A.E CAA will be screening this team of wannabes, and again will make sure your domain is on the ground! Any of the F/E's qualified A&P? Has the back-stabber provided them with torch and daggers too?

Do not get me started wannabe Midex, this guy was groomed by Saboor to be somebody, and the moment his mentor was gone, Judas comes to management and pretends with a Safety Manager title he can fill in the vacant post? Don't you get it?
He maybe a good & qualified third man, but no up to the job, specially when you circumvent your former generals, and ask for hashish behind the scenes. Midex B747 recruits are doomed! maybe A300B4 will survive, no quams on type, they have been doing it for long, and without bush-pilots!

In your post.... I think you meant impeccable or unimpeachable..... is that correct?
AtLast - American Psychological Assn Writing and style guide allows hypenation for emphasis in a conversational context such as this forum... no offense intended. but you ARE correct
Icarus2008:
was it "hashish" or "bakshish"? there's a BIG difference between a Class "A" drug and Vitamin "W" (wasta).
