GCAA to be notified
With the recent ex-pat firings, there will be some visits to GCAA and other reglatory organisations. They are now loose canons and cannot be intimidated any longer!!!
How unprofessional is it to call your crewmembers and colleagues "drunkards and useless" and expect the remaining crewmembers to fall in line under this treat and not expect them to leave. But, again this is the Dr.'s master plan to get rid of the ex-pats and replace them with unexperienced locals who will work longer rotations, find their own housing, and work for less money. Also, accusing crewmembers that they are flying under the influence without evidence and then knowingly letting them perform their duties is another blunder of the management, but then again they condone bending the rules. All ingredients for accidents and incidents to happen.

mrzero
mrzero is a good name for you. your opinion is worth absolutely zero. You have no idea what you are talking about, perhaps you are related to Mr Grizz, he left Midex in the middle of the night without telling anybody - a real honourable man. Nobody supports drunken "colleagues"who report for duty still half pissed

The facts
Well. I have never posted on this forum before but I have looked at it often over the years. I work for Midex and am amazed to see the rubbish posts on here. It is obvious that the negative posts are from the unhappy crew who have been fired or left or want to leave and also from weird guys with serious mental problems and the the positive posts are from the crew who really know the truth and like it here. That includes me. This company is OK, I get paid on time every month, we now get a roster a month ahead, the aircraft are maintained well despite useless ADAT and the company is doing its best to improve in every department. It is also perfectly true that there are a few alcoholic dependent crew members but I think their days are numbered as they are well known. Keep up the good work Midex. As for the other sad gits - move on with your life, get out more, spend less time on the internet, get a girlfriend or get a hobby. You only make yourself look stupid with your comments.

The last of the true believers
Its amazing that the management of Midex has to post their opinions on a rumour website. I don't think Willie Walsh or Richard Branson care to check prune out everyday and then respond to the comments that come about. Those people are true pros, but unlike here at Midex.
I won't get into how to do something, but true management professionals do not put their crew members or people down and don't do it on a amateur website. What an example is that??
Have an open forum or meeting and communicate with your people and make them feel a part of the process and this will produce a start to success. Here they believe that intimadation and name calling is the order of the day. What are we 5 years old again?? Good luck!!!

Whoever is looking for permanent job, please be informed that Midex is not the right place to work at.
However, if u r looking for a temporarily job (3/5/9 months) then I advise u to apply.
I have been working with them and particularly with the senior management, they are tooo far from being professional, the top management/decision maker ( which is one person) is an ignorant, so do not expect things to happen as per the Employment contract....they write something and after that they will unpleasantly surprise u with something else any time without even prior notice.

Yes, your friend is right and so are previous posts, simply bcoz Midex are unpredictable and unfair, they r nice with who they want and r devilish with the majority.
From my experience, midex's negative points are much more than their positve ones. and this is the reason u find more "negative posts" than positive ones.
I am not a pilot or FE, however I occupied a post where I was able to see every & each thing they do & decide which is unfortunately not in the favor of the employee.
This Dr. thinks himself a God and thinks that Midex is the only company on earth offering jobs.
90% of candidates get hired on the spot and particularly girls, not becoz the company needs them but jut becoz it is a kind of " a hobby" not to say something else.
Midex does not really care about the employee whether or not he/she is qualified enough, simply bcoz while hiring someone they do know that within 2/3 months max they will throw them out. it is easy to come up with any excuse....
and yes, sooo many pilots & other employees have not been given their salaries and on top of this, the company files cases against them so as in the future they will have troubles working in the UAE....I heard & saw this from the "decision maker" himself.

Anywhere the fake 'swiss' Dr Potty has his fingers then there will be widespread discontent. Making bogs has zero in common with running an airline op, just ask any of the people over at RAK Airways and they'll tell you about the mess he has been making there since 2006.
His gimps regularly post on pprune to try to counter the real gen that is posted, I think he pays a roopeee for every post they make...

MIDEX looking to go to N registration?
Just overheard a couple MIDEX pilots talking about going to the FAA with a proposal to switch to US registration. Something about a 747 going to New York, with some big wigs on board.
Why would they consider such a thing? Less oversite in the UAE by FAA? What about the cost of such a thing? If the posts are half true here on PPrune, could they pull it off?

How Low Can Morale Go???
Just a heads up to all those prospective new hire Captains, FO's FE's etc. Midex today just took our 2 travel days away to go home and come back to work. How pity can they be? Extremely!! They are short of crews because they treat them terribly!! This is a fact. Being away from home this long is bad enough and then just change the rules and contract is unacceptable. The take it or leave clause will apply here believe me.
They are trying to get 5 crews on each aircraft to do permanent basing and now with this solvo its just a slap to true professionals. Stay away as conditions are only going to get worse! Apparently the new wonders are proving dangerous in the cockpit of the 747 and war pay will probably be next to go.
Glad to be away and many others , the true professionals,I know will be going.

Morale
With the recent change in upper management at Midex coditions and morale are once again in deline. Although not included in the cotract travel days were very important to eveyone, and this is just the start. Now that there are other jobs around just watch the exodus of good and qualified crew over the next few months, then it will not be long before we all hear about the first accident at Midex. If you are thinking about joining this company, be warned and STAY AWAY.

Wallet on the center console
Your probably the guy who throws his wallet on the center console of the aircraft and tells the pilot to take your money because they are taxing at a normal speed and your trying to milk the company. Are you trying to say conditions are normal at Midex?

Moral sinking like the Titanic
Under the enlightened leadership of Mr. F/E DM, the flood of those leaving is an utter certainity. Whats next, an imposed 11-1 leave schedule? Dont be shocked if it happens. How on earth does he expect to retain good, qualified crew by making things worse and worse? Perhaps he has the mistaken concept that "The beatings will continue until moral improves?" Good luck with that....

How to retain crew......
MidEx's new/old DO seems to have the management philosophy that in order to retain crew, threaten,abuse and punish those the company does have. That'll teach them right? "The beatings will continue until moral improves."
