What is with all this facination with Rex? I assume a large chunk of senior Jetstar Management pilots are all ex Rex or something?
Nothing to do with management. More to do with the fact that Rex pilots can go straight to J*. Qlink pilots are only released to J* or mainline at the rate of one or two per month, if that. So if J* want turboprop pilots Rex has the largest pool available.
If you want to join Mainline or J*, join Rex instead of Qlink. You'll get there quicker.
