OK you got me. English was not my best subject in school.

The point I was trying to get across is the fact that the Dir of Training does not need to be a pilot. The company where I currently work the Dir of Training is a Flight Engineer. But he does have all the boxes ticked. There was no problem of his approval by the authorities.

What you are saying is at least this dir of training you had possesed a pilots license and all the qualified endorsements. If not how can a person who can't even meet the requirements of training themselves be in charge of training and evaluation of higher qualified personel.

hey is mclane's cheering section T jones still there too

Nope, T.J. left in the dark of the nite a few months ago.

useless mclane
 

mclane has a very low iq and is totally unsuitable for any kind of management role. He is the most disgusting human being I have experienced in aviation. He has been loathed in all his previous jobs. Many midex crew left in the middle of the night because they could not stand working there with him in a position of 'power" He will get what he deserves.

Ones there trusted Mclane only because of Mark a deceased A300 Captain knew Mclane from a job at Atlas in which he was was only a ground training instructor.
But even Mark was wound up about not being paid what he was owed and probably increased his stress level, he was looking to leave too, but not in the way events turned out.
Mclane has a very, very bad reputation from Focus Air that is know even to this day worldwide.
J.C, ADO has similar with tradewinds, know as as one never should be trusted.
he came from a F.E.position, but his flying and management abilities leave much to be desired, even a F/E does better than this one.
Just an ass kiss that will bend down and kiss what ever or who ever is necessary, to stay in management and progress up the ladder, even at JAL he was labeled this along with many other things, wont elaborate about the romours from there but many have said,,,anything and anyone goes.
His recent Interview at a USA company which he was declined a position is just a fact or record that this is a small world and what will happen again to him and others, word is out.
The rest of A300 management is mostly also ex Tradewinds,, only good one that they had there was the A300 C/P Jack B.
He left as he had enough.
The rest are all useless ass kiss that will break the rules to save jobs as has done this many times over.
747 ones have all left, the CEO is trying to replace them with all no 747 time Arab ones, seems they will fly anything and more willing to do what is wrong.
In my whole 25 years of flying I have never seen a company so corrupt as this one.

This thread makes for interesting reading. I would say too bad to be true! Excuse my ignorance, I have nothing to do with Midex. What I find strange is that Emirates and Eithad are held to high standards by the GCAA. Why not Midex? Are they not subjuct to the same oversight?

These airlines are not even in the same catagory. This is what is known as a scumbag cargo outfit basically Adhoc begging for contract but can't seem to keep them after they get them due to screwed up management. The management always put's the monkey back on the crews for not being proactive and willing to fly poorly maintained aged aircraft and complains of your disloyalty. Most of these are managed by people who are so narssistic they actually believe they know what they are doing.

Who is JC as I was at Jal and these Initials don't ring a bell but I surely didn't know everyone. I was at Focus during DM's reign of terror and incompetence though. I actually liked Focus to bad management ran us out of business we had some great crew members. And I still have some great memories

JC I believe was at JAS not JAL and was an FE later to get to the left seat. If it is the same JC he was a pretty decent guy

MIDEX DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST
 

LOL, Just got news that they had a massive wheel blow out in Bagram. Doing what they do best I guess.

Midex Airlines, if it's broke, it's one of our aircrafts :p

Never fear JC is there along with his very own master ADO MEL, that he wrote himself clarifying all Grey areas.
I can hear him now,,18 wheels required on a 747,,,where does it state that???
Or Papa non Doc and the CEO blaming the crew for the piss poor maintenance and trying once again to deduct the tire cost from the operating pilots.
You cant make these things up,,,it actually goes on at Midex!

It makes me sad when somebody "LOL"over "a massive wheel blow out in Bagram" No matter how disgruntled certain exMidex crew members might be, it is not very nice to cheer over fellow crew members bad luck. IF this incident did happen (have not got any confirmation yet, and we do not know if it was a 74 or a Bus involved) it is not very hard to figure out a plausible scenario. The US military air traffic controllers seem to expect us to do the impossible at every approach at this hot n high/steep glide/high terrain airport. Most of the time we can cope with this, but with very narrow safety margins. Add to that -Max landing weight ( even an overweight landing, that Midex seem to execute on regular basis on the 74) -A thrust reverser u/s or disabled (when it comes to Midex it might not even be DMI:d) -Some tail wind component or windshear And you going to end up with very hot breaks! We do not know if this incident did really happen. If it did, the only thing we can be sure of, is that all reports will stay in a locked drawer at the Midex office , and no info will ever hit the GCAA.

No one laughing here Sir H.
Sad part will be for the crew when the management points the finger to them as the blame, then tries to deduct the costs from their salary as they have done many times in the past.
No safety margins at Midex.
Thrust reverser or similar problems would be locked out with no log book entry or DMI.
Reason they would give in the past is a Cat C,,10 day item,,Maintenance does not have the parts to repair it and clear the DMI within the allotted time.
With the plane AOG company makes no money,
So end result crews not allowed to write up the items, if you do then management starts the threats and intimidation game, some have even been terminated for this such as an A300 Captain 2 years ago.
GCAA should look a bit closer at this,take off those rose colored glasses and see what really goes on there.

Latest midex management appointments !!
 

I heard that the latest appointments are the greek clown AC is now the dfo and his deputy is one of the worst first officers and failed captains in living memory FF. They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
What ever happened to JC have his management ambitions finally been ended ? His ambition always was way over his ability.

Midex along with all management has made a name for itself worldwide.
Let the cards fall as they lay.
Those of us with other airlines now in better companies and positions will be governed accordingly when these dead beats apply.

Yes I did...
 

And it was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. My life is so much happier now. The only bad part of having to leave the way I did was... I didn't get to say good-bye to those I wanted to say good-bye too. I made some good friends there and I couldn't tell them what I was doing. So for those of you that read this forum and trust me when I say "Nobody really reads this forum"... I miss you guys and I hope the best for you.

Tom

Really don't think some blames the TJ for standing up for such a corrupt management as he thought as we all did this would be a normal company with start up problems, but he was labeled an ass kiss at the time.
But after a few years and the lies and deceit getting worse daily he decided to bail out accordingly with a mid night departure after salary day as most pilots have opted to do.
Sorry TJ we all told you so, but your nose was so far up MC ass you would not listen to commen sense.
Midex refuses to pay the end of service benefits anyway required under the UAE labor laws so why stay and resign normally,,,less money.
The rest of us seen Mclane as he really was, pure lies and deceit, just that he was a friend of Mark is the only reason ones trusted him.
G.I. the CEO brought all the bad things to Midex, the doctor started this but the CEO threw the gasoline on the fire.
His past history with Globejet that lost its AOC through the same problems and management, ones that flew with him there said he was only an F/E made station manager and his F/E abilities was just as bad or worst than his management ones.
For what Midex owes me through lies and contract changes/ breaches is more than 20,000 USD.
The problems with documents log book wright ups and pictures have been passed on to the FAA..
Pics were included and the safety manager ADO ignored.
If the GCAA does not do something about this then it may become really big and soon.
Along with the past safety managers/DO and ADO non response to safety issues with attached emails and dates.

Chickenhunter, If you fly as well as you WRITE and Spell, Scary! Wait now that I read it again it's terrifying that they let you fly at all!

You gotta be kidding me...
 

Chickenhunter... I have no idea who you are but as I've done before (and got kicked off here for doing it) I'll do it again. You... can kiss my big hairy :mad: !!! Being one's friend and being an "ass kisser" are two different things. McLane was to a point, my friend. I never really defended him, I only worked to correct all the garbage that was being spread by those who didn't have any idea what they were talking about... sort of like you!!! First... G.I. is NOT the CEO... he is the COO. That wannabe Doctor is the President and CEO. Maybe you should go read the website of the company (I guess) you work for. There is a list of who does what there. You may learn something.

Second... did you only make it through the 6th grade or what? If you fly anything like you write and spell, you must be one sorry crewmember. I would be totally embarrassed if I put something like what you did on the web for all to read. Granted, nobody really reads the crap people put here because most people that post here don't really have anything to say... they just complain about everything that is wrong in their life. That said, maybe you should consider going back to school, increase your education and maybe you too can find a job outside Midex. At least get your GED or something.

I get so pissed off when people come on here, write the crap they feel the need to write and don't have enough junk in their pants to say who they are. They hide behind their computer screen because they are afraid that if someone found out who they were, they might get their sorry butt kicked. :}

Now, have fun responding to this and remember... Spell Check!!! :D

Tom :ok:

Bottom line Midex did not pay us correctly and changed our contracts many times.
Accept the new contract long before completion date, comply or good bye type threats.
We can point fingers at each other all day long and the end result will be the same.
No matter how you leave Midex you wont get paid what you are owed.

It's a thin line between love and hate. It's an even thinner line between kissing ass and making the mortgage payments back home. Don't mistake one's tolerance for acceptance.

Why else would anyone have stuck around for as long as they did?

A6-MDG is for sale for some months now.....

Do not join Midex Airlines
 

I see that they are recruiting again to replace departed crews. I strongly recommend that nobody joins this awful airline. The aircraft are very badly maintained with defects never fixed but signed off all the same. They expect you to bend the rules all the time. They do not pay you what they owe you when you leave. They treat their staff like s--t. The management are incompetent dreadful people. When you do leave they do their utmost to screw you and stop you getting a job elsewhere. I worked for them and it was the worst time of my life.

Have we heard that before!......I think the market know that by now ;-) Anyone with some fresh gossip, for a change? Any lower management scandals, stupid decisions, cock ups? Any new contract changes initiated by "the great leader" ? For those of you still in there, why don't you come and join us in the free world? You'll like it here ;-)

You are correct Sir H
We have beat that horse about Midex not paying into the ground.
But do hope that anyone considering working there would read these posts and have second thoughts as Midex does not pay even if you follow the rules and contracts they constantly change!
As far as escaped from midex posted you will need a no objection letter to work in the UAE or any GCAA country again , or be out for a period exceeding 1 year.
No matter how you left,,the correct way,,resigned furloughed, contract completion, no debts owed etc.
Midex is blocking crews from this now past and present.
Best to stay away from this bottom feeding outfit.
As someone pointed out Midex is KFC airlines.
Khairallah Flying Circus.

Pigs revolving in their own sty
 

Get a life Bone.
Stop posting nonsense.
You have 4 post, all 4 slam Midex.
All 4 Are B/S.

Ohh well, Mr Earl, so much for sucking from MidEx managment and now you seem to have joined the long line of american losers heading probably to Bagram and joind the club of your comrads who piss on Afghan corpses or help in the burning of the Koran; I scrolled back in time, and found your nosed browned with old comments; "you throw s..t up it can only land on your face" pal. Your former friends of the past appeared to have predicted your fate.:eek: With Saudia/Phuket and now MidEx on your background would probably qualify U for jobs picking up garbage in some corners of your home land.:yuk:

Yes DIGNIFIED I did post that a while back and no I have never had my nose brown with the management,,just the opposite.
Back then Midex was just barely tolerable and those posting did not even work there.
It got much worse as time passed and now makes Bones post correct.
As far as your comments about pissing on corpses, will leave that to the pros to do.
Burning Korans,,where do you get this from,,some 3rd world TV station.
Would help if they put toilet paper inside the toilets there, plenty of religious material available inside, leaves one with choice,,hand or paper,,now which would you choose?
Have a nice day!

Capro espiatorio
 

Thank you for the opportunity to comment, let me put it this way:
Most Islamic countries I have visited possess a rather pleasant stream of water that you can regulate with cold or hot water and lands right on your ass hole; not only saves the paper you allude to with some septic tank sarcasm, but also makes sure you walk away with a clean and hygienic spirit, the one you lacked of with criticizing your own former colleagues.
So I throw you the ball back in your hands, would you rather be pro-hopeless management? or would you try amalgamating with your own peers?
Cornuto!:ouch:

dignified?????
 

Can't say I understand your posts about Midex. Do you try to make a point or are you just being rude ;-) And for the record, do you ever had any experience or connection with Midex?

No dignity whatsoever
 

Dignified, you are a complete idiot and nothing you have said can be understood let alone dignified.

Bones will now be able to post his 5th post which will go something like this:

Pink slips for the bus guys have been delivered. They are being parked June 30th.

And he will be correct. It is confirmed.:{

Earl, you have been a fair and decent man who tried hard to be a team player and you got screwed in the end just as many before you. You were never, nor did you ever play the role of skapegoat as dignified tried so stupidly to apply to you. ( personally I think he sounded as if he fell in a bucket of cheap beer). :}

To the pilots who stuck around with hopes the rumors remained just that, best of luck to you and may you all continue to fly with new jobs in the near future. If you need a place to hang out while applying for spots around the UAE, our case es su casa. We have plenty of room.

Midex the failed venture
 

Well it looks like the fake doctor's airline did not quite work out as planned. The Airbus 300s are going next month and there are just two tired B747 classics operating. All the good crews have left and nobody else wants to join them. Surprise surprise. This is exactly what happens with awful incompetent management. He must have lost a fortune. There is a god !

From the Midex website:

"

MIDEX AIRLINES, UAE National Cargo Carrier, made its third appearance at the Dubai Airshow with one of its three B747 aircraft.

Company President, Dr. Issam KHAIRALLAH, declared during the Dubai Airshow that MIDEX will purchase five B747 before end of 2012 making Midex the largest cargo operator privately owned in the world."


Oh, HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Someone better tell Connie Kalitta that, or Del Smith, or probably several others!


Sorry, I haven't posted in a long while but that really made me laugh.

Thanks Sassy Pilots wife.
I wonder if the other privately 747 classic company owners listen to this Doc.
Think they have the same opinion of his lies and deceits as the ex Midex crews.
Biggest 747 classic privately owned around? I doubt that as I can name at least 4 or 5 now much bigger than Midex.
Maybe one day Connie will put this little runt in his place ha ha.
I am sure we all know how that may happen.

Midex
 

I guess all the people that left mudex were wrong? All those very experienced crew. All you people with your heads in the sand will find it hard getting work in any other airline. Good luck

So the rumors are true and the Airbus is no more at MidEx. To bad a lot of my friends were there. The question is now: Will they be paid?

3 pointer, suggest you read the previous 36 pages, you should be able to make a good guess about payment from them.

Midex
 

They are talking about getting more 747s but they can only keep one 747 junker flying.
Because of all the bad press they've had & ex-crew telling the aviation world how bad they are, they have no chance of getting any experienced crew.
The owner thinks we believe in Santa Claus.
Don't forget boys, 12 hours from the bottle to the throttle

Midex claims they operate in the UAE free zone.
Your contracts are never registered with the UAE government as required under the UAE labor law.
Yet you hold a UAE labor card like every other expat there and in same as every company has.
Your resident visa will be out of Ras Alkama, your base will be Sharjah, the company office is in Dubai.
Now you tell me there isn't some funny business going on here.
Even when you register a vehicle there they say its not correct.
Midex operating in the free zone is total B/S.
To them that means they can change your contract long before the expiration date, massive cutting of terms and conditions,,not pay you what is owed according to the UAE labor law and your contract states.
Even under the final contract you signed with them.
This is a scum bag bottom feeding outfit,
No need to have knowledge of the MEl there or even read it as it does not apply.
Midex owes all of us a lot of money no matter how you left there, they don't pay bottom line.
Edited for spelling.

Forgot to add and yes it is getting attention worldwide.
Managers there are probably going to have a difficult time finding jobs elsewhere once this one folds up.
Old saying goes you make your bed in a bad way you have to lay in it.
