Yady yady yada,
Let me add something to your story to make it more interesting.
Mac Daddy was in Qatar when he heard about my project and breached his contract there in order to contract with me. As he informed me that he had an experience with my proposed project, I selected him over 80 tenders thinking that he is the one. I didn't knew that Mac Daddy had a history of breaching contracts until 2 weeks back when I contacted the company in Qatar and they told me that Mac Daddy even made some crew member quit there jobs over there to come to my project. :mellow: How moral is that?
Did Mac Daddy put a gun to their head and force them to come to KSA for this doomed Air Ambulance Project? We all make our own choices!!!
Anyway, Mac Daddy started the project of 6 machines in 2 diffirent cities (3 in central region and 3 in western region) with minimum equipment. He brought in only four machines. One was broken the whole time.
Thought it was only 4 Airframes and only in Riyadh. Never saw any airframes make it to Jeddah.
He asked for storage for his machines. so I made some contacts to get this storge, but his idiot "Project Director" refused the storage and claimed he wants to refuel his machines only. So I lost the storage because of his mismanagement.
Hmm maybe your are right on this one
Later on, Mac Daddy said; we need ladders. so I sent some guys to help out and buy ladders. His engineers say; no we need special stages that are only sold on line in Grainer.com. so I asked him to buy what he needed and I'll pay him in cash. What do I get? normal 8 Ft. + 10 Ft. + 12 Ft. ladders that could have been bought locally to fix his broken machines.
Next, He asked for the salery for his crew. I pay him SAR 24,407,000 to cover all saleries and other expenses. Two months later, when I changed my management, he became anxious and do not know what to say or what to do...
Why did SRCA change its management so abruptly and so quickly? The new management was and is ruthless and uncaring. Its doing its best to shaft its own employees let alone Mac Daddy
He started to fire people (Chris, Richard, Len) because they have some safety concerns that he didn't like. :angry:
You only have one of the names correct here. Actually the correct one you mention was quite a competent. One of the others spent his time in Jeddah playing golf all day and the other was a young loud mouthed idiot from West Texas who spent his days insulting Saudis and sorting out his Facebook profile. We never heard anything from these guys about "safety concerns" They were more concerned with there own wallets!!! This is a JOKE
Then, he asked for more money to pay saleries. I didn't like what's going on, so I stopped paying him and asked for a breakdown for the 24,407,000 that I paid him earlier. Of course, him and his idiots refused to provide me with any information at the time, but later on, he finally gave me the breakdown after my lawyer called him and was for twelve millions and said that he owes me 12 mills. :angry:
Could this be true??? Only SRCA and Mac Daddy knows
Your Mac Daddy claims he wants to restart the project, but he must be paid first in order to cover the "restart expenses"
I do not deny that Mac Daddy brought some good people that wanted to help, but he also brought some idiots like (Steve, Will, Bill, Ken, Pablo ... etc) I remeber Steve didn't believe he was the Project Director and Will "Mac Daddy's Private Pilot" was Deputy Project Director. Bill was ??? I don't know what. Ken was the paramedic at end stage. Pablo, a car sales man who worked previously in General Motors and then became a Dispatcher and when everyone left became the new "Project Director"
Who the hell is Ken???. Anyhow Ahmad you are 90% correct on this one. Actually the only one who had any promise on this team was old Bill. Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater here.
What can I say about this company??? :unsure:
and now 2easy4u comes here and starts talking about the project like he knows everything.
Maybe he does???
My question is: Did you have a contract with me or with Mac Daddy?
I don't know why you have this much hate for me and you accuse me for not paying you.
Well this is a bit like BP blaming its contractor for ruining a large part of the Gulf of Mexico. Its contractor was only there at the request of BP. BP is supervising this whole project the same as SRCA for its Air Ambulance operations. Mac Daddy would not have turned up if SRCA had not accepted it as a vendor/contractor. SRCA cannot wash its hands of this mess. Because at the end of the day this is your project!!! Right now there are all these guys that have not been paid and this steaming pile of crap will continue to haunt both Mac Daddy and the SRCA until its finally sorted out. I asked for your CV to correct your status, but your management refused! What else do you want me to do?
You can do plenty...you are supervising this project and it belongs to you. You can either pay all of us who are out of pocket and re-hire all these guys to continue this important service. Many of us had no idea that you were asking for CVs. Maybe you could have communicated this better???
You know, if you can't get over this after 2 months I suggest you see a shrink to help you.
Well this situation will continue to haunt both Mac Daddy and the SRCA for a lot longer than 2 months so you better get used to it. The sooner SRCA mans up and sorts this out the better. A lot of people have been screwed up the arse by SRCA also. This includes Westerners, Saudis and other Arabs. At least SRCA does not discriminate about who it screws!!! I am not sure any shrink is going to help.
