your quote: We have 2 more 747s coming on property in April.
Is the B742 flying now? The "2 more 747's ...April".... Are they B742's or B744's.
If they are B742's, where are they sourcing the aircraft from?

Dear Paladini,
I believe I have fallen foul of the Comedic Grammar Police and if pushed I will make a fittingly full and complete confession. I'm sure you meant unimpeachable, not un-impeachable and I just wish I had used it too.
I plead an affliction of malapropism and throw myself upon the mercy of the PPRuNe Court.
Sincerely
Atlast

Icarus: I think most of the ex Phuket pilots here with Midex is above all this name calling and personal insults.
You are opening a can of worms here that you may not be able to close up.
Better hope none of us stoops to your level or posts any of your past e-mails to Phuket management and crews on here.
Or maybe someone hijacked your pprune password as you claimed with your email to Phuket crews and managment.
My Hooters bar and grill is done on my days off on full pay dude.
Not like your unpaid days off, or do you even have a job?
After Phuket I seriously doubt it.
I am surprised that the moderators let personal attacks like yours remain.
Midex is not the best but they are trying to improve, time will tell.
I doubt they will close up shop anytime soon.
It takes quite a bit of time and money for UAE medicals, UAE license, UAE work permits and work visas.
The aircraft are flying and crews are being paid.
Thats quite a lot considering some places with the industry downturn.
Icarus: I remember my mother telling me empty wagons make a lot of noise.
If you worked here and did not get paid then you should post it, but you don't work here!
Your posts as to things that happened with PHUKET and SAUDIA concerning certain individuals about child abuse and other things are all B/S.
I worked at both companies!
Phuket had its problems with aircraft and crew issues, you are in need of some serious medical help posting things such as this about some there.
Its better to keep your mouth shut and just let people think you may be a fool, rather than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!
But you passed that point didn't you even with Phuket!
I hope the moderators ban this individual, I can provide the emails if needed.
As can any of the pilots or management from Phuket.
As bad as the C/P was at Phuket he did not even want you back on the property, you need serious medical help.
Not all the ex Phuket are on the 747, some are on the Airbus with company paid ratings.
Guess you missed that boat also, but no one wonders why!

Met a captain who has worked with Midex. Went home on time off and was never recalled. Was told he is over 60 and visa can not be obtained, even though he was hired before 60 and was assured that it is not a concern.
Now he had to empty his apartment for which Midex refused to pay airfare and shorted his salary.
Who takes the blame? the captain or the guy who hired him?
Sounds like an unprofessional outfit.
I will stay clear.

the etymology of a term
Thanks for the opportunity to respond. Hitherto, the reaction from inside is magnificent, I guess it is inspired as a result of hearing of so much tyranny and oppression.
But let me first educate you and your colleague atlast who believes he is an authority in grammar:
"Hashishi", as the Arabs call it, traces to deep studies finally undisclosed by Silvestre de Sacy's in one of his memoirs, and I quote:
"A warning against 'the pernicious influence of secret societies...and...the dreadful prostitution of religion to the horrors of unbridled ambition'. For him the Assassins (hashishi), were a 'union of impostors and dupes which, under the mask of a more austere creed and server morals, undermined all religion and morality"
Would the intent in having used this term be appropriate to aim at what is left in the souls of Mackenzie and company?
Believe you me, this is no "cosa nostra", the noise this guy has left behind is no different from Frank Lorenzo when he destroyed the pilot unions in the USA, and the move we Italians are presently witnessing with Alitalia.

Where's CR2 & Hogg when ya' need them??????
Any chance of getting Icarus2008 relegated to his own RANT forum?
Some of us are trying to have a USEFUL discussion here about MIDEX. All we get from Icarus2008 is drivel
and slanderous diatribe.
...or at least constrain him to using PM..... at least there we can put him on the ignore list

It's sad that this thread continues to get non-productive comments from guys who were probably rejected from Midex Airlines.
And no, things are not perfect at Midex Airlines but at least they are trying to improve the situation and move forward. The B747-200 has just returned from successful week long charter with more business to follow. Business for the A300 are starting to pick up and if it continue, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL ADD ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT IN THE FUTURE. The key word here is "CHANCE." Which is useful information for pilots who are looking for jobs and happen to review this thread.
So, with that said, I wish that all of the people who choose to post on this thread to keep it to constructive comments.

"...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..."
As an alumnus of Focus Air I know the above mentioned individual. You could not be more wrong. This man's integrity is beyond question. If you actually knew him you would be proud to number him among your friends. As far as his experience at running things goes, suffice it to say his life's experience is of the kind most of us buy books to read and dream about.
