That is very true, good outfit to work for and they treat thier crews well. I think is a good startup and they will grow for sure.

SBD
First off, if you're a crew member, you're the last to know about the financial health of the company. Focus guys were swearing the financial strength was there until the doors slammed shut. Gemini guys were shocked at the end.

Has the 747 made a revenue flight yet? This has been promised for six months? LH was supposed to be the customer. Are they still waiting?

It is now certain that the world is going into a recession. Trade flows are going to drop and so will the smaller outfits with weak operations.

A bloke I know over there says that some of the crews are 2 or 3 months behind in being paid. I think we all know what that means.

Maybe the bloke you know confuses Midex with Orex, cause that's the case at the latter...

Midex B747 crew is still not in AL AIn.
The last i heard, they were not being payed and were told that backpay will be credited once they are brought to AL AIn.
Just a matter of how long can you wait?
One Captain i know has already left for the same reason.

I was chatting with an FE and an FO from Midex in the hotel in CDG yesterday and they seemed quite happy - they certainly were not running the company down.

They'd prefer 4 weeks on 4 off rather than 5/3 - but who wouldn't?

Good luck to them

Not sure were 747 Fanatic is getting his information but all of the 747 crews are in Al Ain except for the ones with visa issues. The 747 flew a test flight yesterday and will be on the AOC soon. Revenue flights to commence before the end of the month.

Also, the crews are being paid and no Captains on the B747 or A300 have left over pay issues. You must be talking about the Captains that have been fired from Midex.

Yes, Midex is still recruiting current and qualified (in past two years)A300 First Officers. You can send your CV (resume) to [email protected]. You will need to include a color copy of your passport, licenses, medical, date of your last A300 PC, and proof that you have past the English Proficiency Test. If you do not include the above listed items they will not look at your resume.

Parking ??

Midex operate (?) one B747 at the moment with more to come ......

I wonder where they are going to park all these aircraft. The A4's now occupy all of the available freight bays and the B747 is parked away on the remote apron.
When the Antonovs and Illyushins are in town (which is quite often) they have to park on remote taxiways.

The Mpost operation that was originally based in Al Ain (with 2 Airbusses) and was supposed to eventually have a large fleet (I believe the No. 50 was mentioned) moved elsewhere because the freight handling facilities in Al Ain could not handle 1 Airbus let alone a fleet. How is Midex coping with that - or do they not uplift out of Al Ain, only Beirut?
I see some new construction going on at the airport. Is that an upgrade of the freight facilities??
