I left the UAE last year and he was flying for them. A lot. I could've swore he hit 7k but maybe it was 6k. Funny story I heard was a 3k+ hour guy was fighting high aspect bfm as the training aid with him. In the debrief Midas asked him what his cuffs were on the engagement and the reply was something to the effect of 'I spotted you over 3000 hours'. This from a 3k hour guy. Unbelievable.
