411 this is not like a Haj flight ACMI operation.
Same as when we both flew for Saudia, GCAA regulations have to be followed, we are no different from any other Company in the UAE, otherwise they would have put this in writing.
I hope you understand this.
Big difference here.
Regs are there we have to follow them, we have lost the AOC one time already, no one wants to see this happen again.
Really dedicated crews here, hope we can make this happen.

Hey Quickchange.....

Why don't you grow some 'cajones' and not change your log in name every 12 hours (you'd have more time to be 'available' that way too).

Seriously, if it is in fact so bad, why do you stick around? Oh yeah, I know, 'could be a great place to work if only......'

Lighten up (on this public forum you speak of....), will you please?

You're correct, FedEx did come and look at your airline for possible lease work and that is why you are not flying FedEx freight. As the maintenance inspector told me on his return, he would not get near Midex and their maintenance practices. he consudered the airline dangerous On the flight side it was even worse. I won't get into that btu is not pretty.

Exclamation Ex-Pats Beware

Seems like Midex is firing their ex-pats pilots and engineers for doing their job properly, safely, and by the FOPM and the GCAA reg's. 5 very experienced pilots and engineers have been fired this last week alone!! Mdex wants to replace experienced ex-pats with unexperienced locals that buy their own ratings and have no time on the aircraft never mind a jet of any size. This is the Dr.'s way of running the "biggest" express so-called airline in the region.
Get a clue!!!!!

Exclamation Firings at Midex

Just to add that just this week Midex has fired 5 very experienced pilots/engineers for doing their job safely and by the Midex FOPM and the GCAA regs. They were told they are not "company" people meaning not willing to sacrafice their safety and that of their crewmembers to move the jet even if it means breaking regs, duty times, call outs etc.
They are willing to upgrade FO's that are no way ready for the left seat and the expats they want to get rid of who have the experience to make the place work.

You want to be careful what you say-that comment could be considered libellous,and as I personally know the FEs involved you are so very wrong. I've no doubt the truth will emerge eventually.

Drunkards

libellous - bollocks! It is a fact that they smelled of beer when reporting for duty, nobody knew they had a drink problem until they saw them sober one day!

aeroground?what do you know about it, obviously nothing at all! GCAA have visited recently. What is this misery you are talking about? I can see from your 141 posts you spend a lot of time contributing stupid comments on subjects you know nothing about, perhaps you are suffering from misery

MIDEX managemet rule by threats and expect crews to break every rule in the book. Let's hope the GCAA shut it down before they have a serious accident.
