My guess is D.M. is taking the CD's with Atlas's and then Focus's and now Midex's manuals and trying to get a job rewriting them again for a new outfit somewhere. Maybe Western Global needs a set of 747 manuals and a director of training?

Well I guess none of us will ever collect the thousands of USD in End Of Contract money they owe us all under UAE labor laws.
Ones that left in the middle of the night better off than ones that completed contract.
Never trust ones like these.
Someones money and financial backing abused severely also.
But happy to hear the HR one back to hotel management.
Clean my towels you idiot!
No Wasta here for you.
Doubt he can even do that job.

Think some should give it up there in Midex management or any new start ups forever.
Why did he hire ones in management from failed airlines?
Doomed from the start.
The Focus , Southern ,Tradewinds management mentality would never work there in the middle east, proven fact many times now.
Middle east operates under GCAA which is very close to JAA as most of the world does.
Before they pulled our AOC at Midex ones tried to say this on deaf American management ears.
Management American ones said we are different GCAA does not apply to us.
Where was this written, was not we lost AOC!
Lies from management, focus tradewind lies etc.
Now company completely finished even a few years later.
That company could have made it big.
I blame the USA ones they hired for management and I am an American that worked abroad for over half my life in the middle east and Europe.

You are an American? Where the hell did you learn to write?

My mistake Tradewinds pilots that became managers there at Midex.
Not the chief F/E on the A300, P.L, he always said this is not correct, don't put him in this goat rope.
All know what we did there was wrong that's why we got shutdown and lost AOC.
Many times ones there said at Tradewinds we did it this way or that way.
Yet we had GCAA regs we operated under, how many times they said oh does not apply to us we are different.
How many times we say where is this written?
Was not written anywhere.
Then they gave AOC back became a better way of hiding things, like the holes in the cargo floor etc, still have the pics and emails to ones that did nothing about it.
Cant write this up will ground the airplane MX and chief pilots said.
How many managers covered that up?
List them I can but wont here,
These ones probably will never work in the usa again flying anyway.
Bad reputation.
Some of us still flying in the USA we dont want or need types like this anywhere around.
And we have acted accordingly!

From "Air Cargo World". Note the statement in the last part of the second sentence of the second paragraph (I'll put it in Italics for you...)!
Midex ceases operations
August 7, 2015 by Linda Ball
After several years of troubled operations, Midex Airlines ended operations as of June. The Sharjah-based carrier in the United Arab Emirates, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Midex International Group, a Lebanon-based courier firm, with its main hub at Paris Orly in France. At its height, Midex specialized in ad-hoc cargo flights employing a fleet of six A300Fs and three 747-200Fs for flights throughout the Persian Gulf, Asia, Europe, and the CIS.
Launching in 2008, at the start of the global economic crisis, Midex never quite got its feet on the ground. It later faced stiff competition from belly carriers and it also lacked the expertise from experienced airline professionals.
Good bye, fake "Doctor!"

Fake doctor we all laughed at many times in his meetings.
Remember he said I am a doctor a surgeon and a scientist and successful business man.
Hell I claim I am a oral gynecologist , at least I can show references ha ha.
He cannot be found on any medical listing records.
He got what he deserved.
We all can laugh at his stupidity and lies now as what he tried to brain wash into our heads we knew was wrong from the start.

All-cargo Midex Airlines folds its wings, while court backs Martinair restructure
By Alex Lennane

Add to favorites
Midex Airlines, beset by problems since it launched in 2008, has finally closed its doors for good.
The carrier – at one point the largest all-cargo airline in the Gulf with a 10-strong fleet – had a chequered history. It began life as subsidiary of Midex International, a Lebanese courier with a hub at Paris-Orly. Seeing a chance to take on the integrators, founder Dr Issam Khairallah decided to launch airline services between France and the Middle East with a UAE operating certificate.
It launched in Al-Ain, Abu Dhabi, in 2008 with A300Fs. But the airine struggled from the start.
Most in the air freight business will remember that 2008 was a tough time – especially to launch a freighter airline. Midex faced serious competition from belly carriers and never quite found the volumes it was targeting from the Indian sub-continent, via Abu Dhabi, to Orly.
Some observers also suggested that there was little airline expertise in its management, despite at one time having $500m in investment to play with.
It switched, fairly quickly, from a majority of scheduled services to mostly ad hoc charters, and opened up routes to the military hotspots of Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, which were in the process of rebuilding, while bringing 747-200Fs into the fleet to allow it to carry large-volume cargo. It had hoped to carry passengers too, but this dream came to nothing.
In recent years – in fact, in some cases stretching almost back to its launch – it has struggled with a poor reputation. Its licence was threatened with suspension in 2010, while pilots have consistently complained of poor safety practices and of not being paid.
In March, its three remaining 747-200Fs appeared to be parked at its latest hub, in Sharjah. And in June, reported CH Aviation, it shut its doors – “fortunately for aviation” reported one former pilot. It is not clear what the plans are for the aircraft.
