Funny how TJ Bootlicker used to say Midex was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Now, after he ran in the middle of the night, he says Midex was horrible. If you look up hippocrite in the dictionary you might just see Bootlicker's picture.
We all hope you have retired from aviation.

Earl is correct about the little goat known as AssAss.
Typically, people hire family so they won't still from the company. Well, by having AssAss there, it would have been alot cheaper if someone WAS STEALING.

How many companies out there have had their catering delivered from a gas station. Until I worked for this dump, I never thought it would happen.
Apparently my per diem was supposed to be used to provide catering for myself.

Earl 14th Oct 2012 06:07

Yes I remember the piss poor cheap ass catering
But also remember no water being provided on the airplane, they complained it cost too much.
Remember many times on the ramp in DXB and SHJ, 40 degree temps everyone soaking wet with sweat, log book pages and performance pages sticking together, every ones shirt soaked with sweat. no water available.
They did improve on the water after a while and so many complaints.
Catering was still gas station bought, as they said normal catering cost too much and really I believe probably not approved for flight crews, as anyone could put bad things in all the food.
If you had not shxt in a few days it did help.
Remember a UK captain showed them in the GCAA regs they had to provide this.
The owner said I pay them 40 USA a day for food, why should i provide catering and water on the aircraft
Another village idiot.
Midex he stated was to be the fedex of the middle east.
Probably mistaken and sucking too much camel milk from the forbidden areas of the camel.

Midex fail again
 
From Midex Ex-crew
Midex Airlines filed a false claim against the Sultan of Oman's 747-SP captain. The captain was stopped in Dubai airport & told he had to pay $46,000 to Midex. When the Sultan of Oman got involved, they discovered the truth & he was allowed entry with plenty of apologies :O. When this captain was employed by Midex they falsely used his name on the aircraft's logbook to create the illusion he had flown the aircraft because the captain was out of duty time. Whilst this happened he was at home on his days off. After this incident he resigned but as usual Midex got upset & got their grubby little lawyer to lie.
Looking forward to hearing how Midex's next flight into Oman goes.

Good old Sultan Qaboos that will teach them a lesson......Hope they do try to get into Oman that would be interesting.

Earl 21st Nov 2012 00:34

And the GCAA still allows then to operate and hold an AOC.
A good and legal GCAA would have shut them down long ago along with an honest UAE labor commission.
How many more proven documents and cases have to be shown before they do the correct action?
Wait until some smoking hole from an accident?
Bet heads will roll then!
Just hope the heads that roll are not the crews, the owner and management ones have had this coming for a long time.

theXfactor 5th Dec 2012 19:33

TJ Bootlicker,

I see you like to threaten via the internet….(but the mods intervened and removed your post).
Much like the real coward you are.

If Midex was such a great place to work, you would not have departed as you did. Now you want to parse semantics but your actions say otherwise.

If you would have shut your gob long enough at the "Cigar Club" you would know exactly who I am. I actually told you one night but your ego and loud mouth would not let you comprehend what I was telling you. I guess subtlety is a skill above your lowbrow mental prowess.

I had the manly fortitude to stand up for what I believe in and I left in the proper manner. The same cannot be said for you as you pulled a Dexy's Midnight Runner. Action speak louder than words and that is something you never have seem to have learned even at your advanced age.

Again, aviation is a better place without the dregglings of the world such as you.

what amazing silence, maybe midex has really become a nice place to work...

3pointlanding 1st Feb 2013 17:52

Having work in the world's largest cat little box, I doubt very much if anything has changed. People just get tired of writing about it. Places such as MidEx is a repository for those at the end of their career with no place to go and those just starting with low time and questionable resume's

Earl 4th Feb 2013 06:11

You have to look at the whole pic there and then judge past and present.
Management also.
If you go there as recent 747 qualified just recurrent sim check , they will slam you to the wall if you leave short of 1 year.
Claiming they paid all your training cost.
Which we all now is a joke.
Duty days and FLT limitations mean nothing.
All will be hiding from the CAA as before.
Still to this day Midex Airlines has not paid us according to our contracts or UAE labor regulations.
No matter if you complete the contract or how you leave
.Bottom line Midex does not pay!
warning stay away.

ita_198 28th May 2013 14:05

latest?
 
How is Midex going, still in ops to Afghanistan?

atlast 31st May 2013 18:10

Just saw them at Camp Bastion today

airtraveller 13th Jun 2013 00:19

Reduced operations?
 
Is Midex downsizing their operations?
Some of the crew have been let off recently and there seems to be less news of their operations nowadays????

WhaleDriver 22nd Jun 2013 01:09

They're still plodding along. Saw a classic at KDH today.

Dengue_Dude 22nd Jun 2013 06:44

I think the pertinent question in all that I have read above, ignoring the rhetoric, really is :

How is this company deemed fit by the UAE to hold an AOC?

acer231 29th Jun 2013 10:49

Midex RIP?
 
We heard that Midex had shut down. Any truth to that.

ita_198 1st Jul 2013 12:20

:)
 
they're getting closer n closer but still there...

Earl 16th Jul 2013 03:44

Many of us hope soon shut down, they never paid us.
As we had out contracts forcefully changed many times.
Upon exit final check out they never paid us until this day our end of service money, or vacation time off earned required under UAE labor laws.
The HR manager really abuses you on final checkout there, like he is really somebody important!
Could not beat his way out of a wet paper bag if required, but he tries to intimated pilots,
Told me you either sign now or you get nothing.
I hope I see him in the USA one day as I did not fully understand him well will ask for further explanation!
:O

AIRBAKE 31st Aug 2013 15:07

MIDEX
 
Where are you right now? :=

newscaster 23rd Jul 2015 16:31

So have they shut down?

Need to Know Basis 4th Aug 2015 15:45

midex ceased operations
 
Midex ceaased operations today 4th AUG 2015. I was shocked they were still about ?

Eitherway it has stopped operating.

A300PFE 5th Aug 2015 03:13

I left MIDEX back in Sept 2011. I made some great friends and flew with some great pilots under very hard conditions. I was a defender of MIDEX in the past but to things i thought was incorrect. but i also spoke up to management and in the end got screwed like everyone else. If anyone is wondering or cares this is Terry Gallaher. We all had some very entertaining discussions here. wish everyone the best.

theXfactor 21st Aug 2015 22:51

Wonder what other scams the habitual lying doctor has gotten himself into now?

After reading some of the previous post, this goes out to TJ Bootlicker.....the only standing up he has ever done is to immediately bend over and grab his ankles, voluntarily.

Midex Airlines
 
Midex ends air cargo ops while court backs Martinair plan

I love the part about management not knowing their business despite having millions of dollars to use. Karma is divine, thank you Allah.
I wonder where Arsehol Assad is, back as hotel receptionist?

2Bad2Sad 9th Dec 2015 07:43

Yes , many happy faces this one gone.
What happened Doctor, brain surgeon and all the middle eastern pilots you hired to replace the western ones?
We have the last laugh.
yes you cheated us all out of many thousands end of service pay.
Now you are laughing stock of all arabs, failure as businessman.
Village idiot, Ali baba.
Assad, back in hotel business.
You had to have it your way!
You got it your way.
What was that one in the wizard of oz movie that wanted brain?
Will whistle that song all day now, for you wish you a brain.

2Bad2Sad 26th Apr 2016 02:21

The D/O is out of a job now in the USA anyway.
DM. many of us have told our management if he shows up and hired massive pilot exodus.
Do not hire at any cost unions notified also
Made your bed now lay in it
Small world have a nice day.

DCBOE 14th Sep 2016 07:08

Rumor in the Sandpit has it, the "Good Doctor" was arrested and is in jail upon re-entering the UAE, something to do with financing of the 747s.

Fish Head on Final 20th Sep 2016 08:54

What goes around comes around. :ok:

2Bad2Sad 8th Oct 2016 01:29

Agree totally Fish head on final.
Hope some Bubba severely large fudge packer is servicing him till it hurts.
Karma is good and does come back around.

carholme 3rd Nov 2016 20:02

742 A6-MDG
 
Would any of the gents who flew A6-MDG remember the general condition of the a/c before Midex ceased operations? Did Midex actually own the ac or has it been returned to a financier/bank?

Regards

Gerry

old freightdog 15th Nov 2016 21:51

So whats left to ask to keep this thread alive, except to find out where all of u bloody Jockeys are nowadays?? MS
Edit, I do want to edit this thread, so as not to come across the wrong way! it was absolute shikes, at the end ´we saw another day´ (Amex is still chasing me!!) , but - and I am not talking structure or Mgmt - , the club of elderly Esquires at the pointy end of the crap ´infrastructure´ was a bloody good one...... those are my thoughts!
