Hiring?

Got a post from a friend; not sure where it came from and if it is legit. Is Midex hiring (I am qualified and current and on the 747-200/300)? I've read the posts on this thread; so, I don't need any updates on the posts above, unless things have gotten better. Feel free to PM me if you have personal information.

Thanks,

RP

Do Not Go To Midex

Hello current and qualified B-747 Classic drivers

This week, 2 pilots bailed out. 2 more in the next week turning their resignations, and a hand full leaving the company on the middle of the night.

If THAT is not a sign of terrible things this company does, I dont know what is..

Stay where you are for now and keep looking. Pass the word.

Bye

I see this fine outfit is peddling for current and qualified crews again. I guess the previous ran for the door as fast as they could. A revolving door for sure, something that should be evidence enough for folks even thinking of applying with Midex.....do your homework!.

I received an email from the D/O stating that they are fully staffed on the B747.

Homework

Before people post negitive coments about a company they should do their homework and get the facts.

Negative Posts

People with negatives posts ARE those people who experienced the company so others don't fall into the same trap. Nobody here is making negative comments unless they worked for the airline, right?

Boeing Driver

Yep Boeing driver you are correct......They must have scared off more A300 crews, I see they are pimping for more crews on Climbto350. This place is revolving door, even in this hard times they cant hold on to pilots.

They might hold on to one or two more if they reverted to the 5 on, 3 off schedule which was promised when we started here, which was in our SIGNED CONTRACT, and for the promise of which many pilots left other jobs. Since 10 weeks working and away from family is unsustainable, I suspect they are going to lose far more A300 pilots, especially in the next couple of months.

Received this a couple of days ago from someone purporting to be a lawyer or law firm in the UAE:

Dear Midex Airlines Crewmembers and other employees:

It has come to our knowledge that Midex Airlines is holding very significant amounts of money that you have honestly earned.

We are here to let you know that because you are an " expat " doesn't mean you are alone. The Labor Law exist and you can be protected under the legal parameters of the law. Don't be afraid to air your concerns. If you feel your contract or your rights are being violated then approach the U.A.E. Labor Department and seek assistance. Most of the companies don't want you to know that you have legal rights and continuously harass and threatens employees and seems this is exactly what you are experiencing now.

According to the U.A.E. Labor Law it is illegal for an employer to hold with no cause an employee's salary.

Therefore in order to take action against Midex Airlines and help you get back your salary A.S.A.P. you need to immediately go to the link we are providing to you at this time and file the appropriate complain.

Look on the left lower corner "salary complain".

i just guess its being tough to be in the air cargo trade these days
lifts are down prices dont make sense and shippers dont want to make payments
i think that the guys who ventured into this trade a few years ago got in at the wrong time as good aircraft (freightors)were expensive to get and today its difficult to find routes where we can fill them both ways
the silver lining is that i feel after every bust there has always been a tremendous boom
history shows that freight rates zoom and tremendous activity starts worldwide
i am sure that everyone can make it through will gain immensely going into the future

@storpikk,
not to attack your personal views about the company, just one thing i would like to know.
Do you work for the company, if so why do you badly want it to fail and shutdown? Do you have anyother job lined up? Dont want to pay the training cost?
i know its not a great company to work for and so are the companies all around the region.

Storpikk

you know guys if you go back and look at all storpikk's posts on other threads he has the same neg view on everything. I think he does need to take a break.

Storpik,
You need to calm down and consider taking some Prozac or something.
You don't work here and have no clue what is really going on!
Leave the negative post and the comments to the crews that work here.
You have slammed us with this one too many times.
We are fully capable of doing the correct negative and positive comments without your input!!!!
We would all appreciate your restraint in this area!!!!
Really trying to be nice about this!
But you are getting a bit out of hand!
Earl

The real story

O.K. Earl, then you tell the rest of us what IS going on there. That way it will be fact not rumours.

If.....

If storpikk has a genuine beef with Midex, maybe HE or SHE will enlighten us as to what that is or was. We all have supposed knowledge gathered from friends or acquaintences, but that is not always valid or correct information. It is quite obvious from the many posts here that Midex is not a 'dream job', but I am sure it suits many, at least for the short term. Perhaps wrong, but I have always found the best (and easiest, for sure...) fix is to simply walk away.

Dont have a clue what you are speaking of Denuge.
If Storpik has an issue maybe he can share with us all here.
But since he never worked for Midex that may be a problem.
