Since I am the only pilot at Midex with the initials JW, I think you are accusing me of being Airbus Gus. You could not be more wrong.
Yet another reason why I don't visit this web board very often.

WTF...
All I can say is: Its easy to beat up on someone when you hide behind the screen name skirt. At least I'm not afraid for everyone to know I posted here. A lot of Midex employees (and non-employees) have said something that someone else didn't like. We all post what we believe to be the truth (in our minds). Then the rest of us get to rebutt what they said and write what we think is the truth.
I never called anyone names here. There just isn't a need for that. But it seems a few of you have to do it behind your screen name skirts because you just aren't man enough to say it to someone's face. I'm not hard to find if you really have something to say to me. If I upset that many people, its strange how I only know about by reading it here.
Oh, and by the way... I did mean to use the word "dribble", because I like it.

Midex, UAE " Best Air Cargo Operator of the year 2009", under GCAA audit for fraud.
Midex Airlines is now under a UAE GCAA spot audit for fraud after they discovered falsification of Crew Duty times. 
They are also investigating the lack of post holder positions not being filled amongst other items that the GCAA has discovered.
The owner has left to hide while this inspection is being conducted, ( sticking his head in the sand )

**** All Aircraft ordered to Abu Dhabi for parking ****
DGCA has ordered all Midex aircraft to Abu Dhabi for parking. Looks like they are going to be grounded and the AOC terminated, or suspended until all problems are sorted out.

Looks like the AOC will be suspended or revoked, all aircraft have been ordered to Abu Dhabi. A shame to ground the fleet for certain management puke's personality flaws, , ie forgery, Time to build a cross and crucify certain management individuals. For it is they that will cost all of the employees their jobs in the end.

Did Midex AOC get suspended/cancelled ??
The jungle drums say that the AOC was suspended on Tuesday night due to allegations of falsification of crew records and a lack of suitably qualified post-holders to fulfill the requirements of the AOC. UAE GCAA audit team was supposed to be in and all aircraft returned to Al Ain and grounded.
However there has been nothing in the press and apparently calls to Midex are met with denial that there are any problems and that they are flying normally - anyone seen anything official ?

Like it or not, I chopped a few posts. Let's keep this about the airline.
I have heard the jungle drums too.
Let's take it from this quote.

How can the post holders be not suitably qualified? Midex had an AOC? Or? Seems back to front to me. Something doesn't compute there.

It should have been stated the lack of postholders and not suitably qualified post holders. Several of the positions were open due to deaths, terminations and resignations at the time of the GCAA Audit. The company will recover from this and the Audit will be a dark cloud with a silver lining.

Midex down but not out ??
Interesting article [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']http://www.arabiansupplychain.com/article-3792-exclusive-uae-cargo-operator-slams-closure-report/[/FONT]
Seems the rumours of Midex demise are not true or are they ??
It is strange that they blame the lack of post holders on the death of director's of quality and safety within the last 14 days ? I was under impression that at least one of them was fired after threating to expose the falsification of crew hours ?
Exclusive: UAE cargo operator slams closure report
by Sarah Cowell and Robeel Haq on Mar 7, 2010
UAE-based cargo operator Midex Airlines has slammed rumours that its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) has been revoked by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
The allegations, which have been circulated on a number of online forums, were fuelled by the death of two post-holders at Midex Airlines – its director of quality and director of safety.
However, speaking exclusively to ArabianSupplyChain.com, the airline’s director general Jassim Al Bastaki stated that contrary to the reports, a number of cargo flights were scheduled for this week.
"I can confirm we have not had our AOC taken away. It is right here in my office with me,” he said.
"The GCAA is running a standard operational audit with us at the moment, which all airlines undergo two or three times a year. Tomorrow at 10am I have a meeting with the GCAA where I must submit the names of my two new post-holders, the director of quality and the director of safety. We had to find people to fill the gaps within 14 days and now it is just a case of submitting their names. The rumours that Midex is out of operation are not true. We have cargo flights operating today and I expect to be operating a cargo flight tomorrow afternoon."
The claims were reinforced by a statement from the GCAA’s director of safety, Ismail Al Balooshi.
“GCAA is currently reviewing the operations of Midex and is working closely with them to resolve operational issues. This is a routine activity conducted by GCAA with all its operators in the region,” he told ArabianSupplyChain.com
