Muddex, the final chapter
 

For some reason the Midex form was closed but we can continue here. I currently work at Midex & I can tell you every crew member is looking for a new job, even the office staff & bus drivers. Now, for all you midex supporters, by now you must be asking why? If not, your heads are in the sand with the owner & management

Would be interesting to find out why the original thread got closed, maybe Midex management are getting scared. I hope this company gets closed down before they have a serious accident. Most of the good guy's who have left now have other job's, best of luck to all those who are about to leave.:ok:

be vewwy vewwy quiet....
 

.........;)

If youre that concerned!
 

The thread was closed because i was away on a trip and was busy enough than to shift thru the comments made on this thread.

Please keep to the thread if you can and keep the names out of it unless youre prepared to give us all your details etc.
Not that we will need them ok guys.

Hogg,

I think you need a lovely assistant! :E

SassyMOD yep, thats the ticket!

Blimey . . .

I'm so glad I didn't take up the offer of a job a couple of years back. Sounds like a really good place to leave . . .

Best of luck for those about to get out.

Nobody listened just over a year ago
 

Funny...... all the postings from the people that told me to get a life and I did not like my postings when I said that it was not a matter of "IF" it was "WHEN"

I knew then that that end was inevitable and seems to be playing out to be just that....

Another S%$# bag airline down the tubes....

I do feel bad for all the people that were treated badly, and feel really bad for the people that will still be treated badly until they escape this so called airline!

Wish the best for all that have escaped and for everyone that does escape!

I do not feel bad for the S&%#bags that run that place and the cronies that will get what they deserve everthing that is coming to them....there is Karma and it is coming to them...soon very soon! you know who you are! and so do we!

Bone 225 you were correct in your prediction
Ones in management past and present names are bold print world wide.
Better for them to stay there, turn out the lights then apply at Burger King.
Aviation is a very small world.

Midex collapsing
 

I am another of the very many midex crew members who is about to leave. What an awful, badly managed company this is. The senior management are dreadful, disgusting people. The so called director of operations is a really sick individual with serious personality, ego and mental problems and the hr manager, who incidentally worked in hotel reception previously is an idiot. Between the two of them they could not run a sweet shop. There will be another fifteen crew members leaving very soon. How long can this pathetic company go on ? They have lost or are about to lose all their competent crew and managers. Why does the gcaa let them operate ?

Well as far as I am concerned Midex still owes me almost 11,000 USD.
That they did not pay after completing the contract, under UAE labor laws.
Bottom Line is Midex airlines does not pay,,,stay away!
Even if you leave the correct way.
Sign a contract for 3 years they will change it many times,,not to your benefit.
Then if you leave correctly they will still cheat you out of every last dime!

Final chapter?
 

Sounds to me that they are finally running out of money. Not paying the employees properly, and not paying for maintenance (having a reduced number of aircrafts airworthy). Many of us seen the signs before. Midex never had, and never will make any profit! Reports say that they only have a couple contracted flights a day into "Talibanistan" and very occasionally, some odd charter (mainly to Africa). This is in competition with several other operators, where of course, the lowest bid wins the contract. It gives by far not enough revenue to operate a fleet of 5 A300 and 3 B742 ! Hopefully the owner/CEO realize that he is not able to make any money in aviation. Time for him to pull the plug and fold this failure, before someone gets badly hurt.

Midex money running out
 

The latest is that the owner has lost many millions due to extremely bad management and is looking to close it down and cut his losses. It went seriously downhill after the latest C.O.O. was appointed. It of course did not help matters when, at every pilot meeting, the owner told them that they were all replaceable and his young son could fly an aircraft after visiting a flight deck. He also told crew that if they left they would be arrested the next time they arrived in the UAE. What an idiot !!

Good man, that'll encourage everyone. . .

You're right, he's a ****.

Actually the part about being arrested if you left was miss-quoted.
He said those that have left without giving notice,think he called them runners or cowards, had Interpol after them now.
Then he said if you have to leave, then leave the correct way.
Well that one does not work either as they refuse to pay the end of service required under UAE law, even if you fully complete the contract.
He also stated that crews would not be forced on to that 12 months on and 1 month off contract,,he restated this many times and said does everyone here understand.
If you signed the 12/1 then a 15% pay raise would be given.
Some pilots recorded this meeting as no one trusts this man.
I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the many times he has lied to the pilots.
Some signed and then the contract was changed again.
Threats along with Intimidation is the SOP there.
Then a few weeks later he claimed he never made such statements in front of at least 75 pilots, when they were forced under this new contract.
I call a duck a duck,,wont sugar coat this one at all.

Forgot to add one important item from that last meeting between the Owner and the pilots.
One Pilot asked since we moved from Al Ain and now we are all scattered all over DXB and SHJ there is costs involved,,transportation ones in getting to work
We were told that maybe Midex would give us some kind of allowance for this..perhaps 500AED per month/137. usd.
The doctor stated well you dont fly your monthly guarantee of 65 hours so you really owe me money.
Was a shock to hear him say this, we owe him money?
This is no fault of the crews as many flights cancel and many aircraft constantly AOG.
We did not take this job to sit around a hotel apartment and do nothing.
You know you can throw a frog into hot water and he will jump out because he knows this will hurt him.
But take that same frog and put him in some nice warm water then slowly increase the heat and he will sit there untill he boils himself to death!
We all know right from wrong,,Midex is very confused about this one!
I have never worked anywhere in my life as to where I seen crews threatened if they left without giving notice.

Midex mis-management
 

Midex is such a bad company because the management are dreadful incompetent people:

Director of Flight Operations disgusting human being with very low intelligence, more suited to working at mcdonalds
Chief Operating Officer totally out of his depth, should also be selling burgers
HR manager young ex hotel worker who is a blatant incompetent liar
Owner very nasty short little man with serious complexes and ego problems

The safety director and other managers are of the same ilk

It could have been a good company - what a pity!

What about the chief pilot. Heard he is O.K.

Which one?
747 or A300?
JB the old A300 C/P was a good one,
But he followed the regulations completely so company replaced him as he did not fit in with the type of operation they wanted to operate as in every reg is considered a Gray area.
Things went really down hill after this.

Midex ,,still as of today has not paid its past crew members according to UAE labor laws.. Ones that left early with proper resignations,,ones that completed contracts.with proper notice etc.
Management at Midex now, ex focus air,,start up airline that abused funding 92 million dollars from the Minnesota teachers retirement fund, fraud waste and abuse.
Now we start to see the rest of the story,,documented factual ones,,more to come soon! Stay tuned.

How was that recent job interview Mr ADO?
Sure you are happy with the results as they fully recognized all the excellent credentials, flying abilities,operating knowledge,management skills you along with company managers had to offer.
But one thing all forget.
This is a very very small industry.
But I understand burger king is hiring,
Look forward to seeing you there,and yes I would like fries with that.
