Midex Airlines (Merged)
 
Anyone got info on this operator? Claims to own 7 X 747 400F's and 2 x A300B4-200F's Guess MIDEX stands for Middle east express blah blah blah

Midex.... so thats what its being called
 
I had some gen on this a while back from some mates who were all being head hunted by Chinese wispers and keen to bail from a particular 744 operating airline.

Some left well over a year ago and my contact also left the jungle paradise for a new sandpit to play in and since then I have lost contact with the progress.

It appeared that you had to be in the know and it was a select bunch of recommendations to get you into the group. Money and rotation options seemed very good at the time however I think the delay was due to the lack of airframes available.

Since the above info was current things have changed a fair bit with EK and the 747 freighters and start of Jade and almost start of Great Wall.

Lets wait and see what comes about in the next few months.


(I have tried to put as many hints in as possiable without outing myself so if you want to play the game F_I_L_L_IN _THE_B_L_A_N_K_S)

Have heard that they are looking for A300/B4 crews with first course in April. For interest anyone know where sims for this type are. Do not recall seeing any in usual places.

A300B4 sim.
 
One is in BRU and I remember one in Burghes Hill as well. There used to be one at Olympic in ATH as well but not JAA approved.

The Chief Pilot is a long time friend of mines he is from the USA, the COO is from Focus Air. 1 747 a couple of B4's base is El Amin, commuting schedule 5 wks on 3 wks off. Housing is under construction, hotel for now. I heard 8 grand for Capts with 75 a day additional. Sims in CDG. Thats all i know for now

Heard the 747 is going to be PH-MCN, still active with Martinair. When is the delivery date?

Heilhaavir 4th Mar 2008 10:38

I think you mean "Al Ain" (OMAL) Blackbaron.

Midex Mystery
 
Midex is a newly formed cargo company based in UAE. Corporate office is in Dubai. Headquarters for government sponsor is in RAK or Ras Al Khaimah just north of Dubai. The Midex Hub is Al Ain (OMAL) which is a small town 1 hour south of Dubai and 2 hours east of Abu Dhabi. Maintenance base is in OMAA.

Losely... the Midex plan is to fly cargo from India (A300) to Al Ain and continue to Paris (747). They have been trying to get started but I think overestimated their ability to start an airline.

Midex owns 6 A300B4s and 2 742s.

Abdul Saboor has recently joined as COO. (former Focus)

The pay is: Captains $100/hour. 70 hr guarantee. Shared housing provided. $40 per day food allowance. 5 weeks on 3 weeks off. Travel on days off. They buy the tickets home. Training is in done at Air France ORY.

Pilot contract yet to be delivered. Bond to be expected.

All terms subject to change.

Two B747s? I thought they only have the one they will be getting from martinair. What about the other one?

747fanatic 12th Mar 2008 08:36

Any update on this one? when they taking off?
They have a schedule up on the website now.

MIDEX
 
5 weeks on 3 weeks off.
Pay for FO's approx 6000US while on the 5 weeks, less if you are on holiday approx 5000US.
Do not know if they will have a transportation allowance. They will set up the pilots with an apartment, do not know if it will be sheared or each one gets one.
First ground school in April, they need a lot of pilots.
6 A300-B6 and 1 747-200. A lot of flying during the 5 weeks on.
Sound like a good management team, good luck to all.:ok:

Hi, urgent
 
Can anybody help me ? everything is fine with the midex cargo , it's ok but could you please tell me that where can we make an application for cockpit crew position ?

747fanatic 20th Mar 2008 09:21

In fact its the other way round. A large number of pilots have been inherited along with the B4s from express.net.
