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:
