Clause 5.3: "The Cadet agrees that he may be seconded to, and the Cadet agrees to take up
secondment with, other air transport operators, either inside or outside the Rex group,
as required by Rex."

Does anybody have any real world examples of this? Where were you sent and for how long? A few other times in the contract it only mentions that you will be hired as a "professional pilot" and does not explicitly state FO in a Saab 340. What other flying roles might you be asked to do instead, where, and with which other operators? I know about Air Link and Pel Air, but this states they can ask you to work with groups with no affiliation with Rex.

As an aside, the next part of that clause does say that the cadet will not be disadvantaged in terms of pay, conditions or seniority by this posting.
I was wondering how long it took you to get the invitation to the WOMBAT Test after you put through your application. I put through my application on the 14th of June and am still waiting to hear back.
