I know people who are in a panic and are not keen to fly REX anymore.
No issues at all with safety of their fleet, I was working as an engineer at their Wagga heavy maintenance base recently, and as a whole the place is well run, they do spent money to keep their aircraft in bloody good nick despite their age, and the SAAB 340 is a good solid airframe with a decent safety record from the get go, this is an employment dispute where the one single engineer involved has hit the nuclear button.
