Is it a top secret who passed away? There are many in this world that might know him.

I guess its not a top secret.
If the forums moderator has no problems with that, we can share the name.
Its in the honor and rememberance of the passed away.
Can anyone confirm if the family who came to see him are still there or have gone back?

Why don't you just post the details of the gentleman's demise on the "Where are They Now" forum? I have found that this works very well.

Fallen Aviator
 

His name was Mark Edwards and I "ditto" all the fine comments written about him. He was a good person the short time I new him. RIP and all the best to his young family.

Its to my understanding his reamins will be transported out Of DXB on a Atlas freighter tomorrow back to the USA.
One fine Gentleman and Captain to all of us that knew him at Atlas and Midex.
Prayers for his family.

Condolence threads in "Where are they now" is the policy.

Thoughts go out to wife and family and props to the CLASS airline that pulled through in the time of need, recognized an ex employee and brought him home because it was the right thing to do.

The final flight Westbound

RIP

Even bigger question why not Midex take full responsibility for transferring him home?
This had to be severe hardship on the family.
They are not in the cargo industry?
It took his past airline to get him home?
Good on ATLAS.

I wouldn't be too hard on Midex. From the VERY limited info I have, it was an insurance issue. Midex does not go to the US. His wife called Atlas for some help and they came thru. They run regular flights for Emirates to the US.

Kudos for Atlas for coming thru.

Midex will not do anything out of goodwill. From top to bottom there is no human element in this organization. Everyone fends for themselves only....those good at being two faced get comfortable.. rest walk away.

It would be nice if people wouldn't post rumors or hear say when it concerns a fallen Crewmember. If you don't know it for fact don't say it.

Mark was put to rest this past Thursday in his hometown of Enon, Ohio.

RIP, my friend!

Topic seems dead for a while now.
Whats the latest? How is the new Vice CEO or whatever his designation is, doing?
Also how flying? still heavy flying in to Afghan and Iraq like was happening in past couple of weeks or done with those charters?
Any news on KHI/BOM, I dont think it would start??

I thought that Air France had got rid of the Orly sim. Is it still going or are they using CAE in BRU?

Last month they used CAE at BRU

If I'm not mistaken the A300-B4 sim @ BRU is the only one remaining in Europe... so it would make sense...

Whats up with the flight(s) to Lahore, Pakistan?
Are these regular scheduled flights or same afghanishtan flight with routing through Lahore???

Type Rating A300B4
 

What happened to the thousands of qualified resumes the so called docter said he had from people begging to work at Midex. Just another lie. So now they are trying to get people to pay for there own type rating on a dinosaur. Anyone would be crazy to do this for a job at Midex.:=

Who are they proposing to do the type rating for them and how much?
Are they guaranteeing a job at the end of the type rating?
What is minimum experience for command on A300?
Might be a way of getting some heavy time if not too expensive.

Midex is advertising this on climbto350. Yes they say they will guarantee job, but do not believe a word they say. It would take you at least 3-6 months before you would get online to fly. Then you would only fly maybe 30 hours per month. There website showing lots of routes is all bogus. The only flying is into Iraq and Afghan. There contract they give you is only something to coax you into coming to work there. They change it and tell you if you do not like it tough hit the road. Talk to people working there before jumping into the frying pan.
