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.

Never said it was, Earl...I think you have me mixed up with another poster here.:hmm:

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?

Lion 101
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.

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!!!!!

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.

Firings
 

wrong mrzero the flight engineers were drunkards and the pilots useless

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!

My my, Mr terminator, we are a worried soul aren't we. Don't forget to turn out the lights when you leave!

Already left - You seem the worried soul to me

Wrong again, it's the guys left there I'm worried for!

Time for another visit to AAN froim the GCAA seems overdue and put you out of your misery once and for all

Do not worry about it Mr Grizz, just go and have a few more drinks, your life obviously looks better through the bottom of a glass

Thanks to all involved in this thread, thoroughly entertaining. Keep it up!

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

Thanks thrax, we aim to please!

more inane comments.

Gentlemen,

Not sure about the gossip but fact is new operation starting in SHJ. 4 possibly 6 A300-605 freighters. Guys running company European. Try [email protected]. Think he is in charge of ops and recruitment.

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.

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...

Hustle On:ok:

????
 

no post since three days!!

Mrs.MIDEX:????

Merry Christmas to all and safe flying in the new year.

Merry XMas and Happy New Year
 

Earl. Merry XMas and a Happy New Year to you and all in Midex. Fly Safe and many Happy Landings,

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?

Why would they go FAA route?

US Military contracts!

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?
 

Sounds like Midex, alright. Management do whatever they can to make the crews feel like a happy family. Time to eject ;-(

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
 

:ugh: 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......
 

:ugh: 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."

stop fXXXXXXX crying people
what ever the managment will do you all will listen
if not there is the door......
I dont see anyone leaving so then stop crying like little girls:D
