DE guys at rex must pay the endorsement, cadets have their loan and scholarshop bonds for 7 years. Some cadets have left and paid over 100k to fly for another airline before their 7 years , that shows how much people want to leave. Rex get their tidy sum, the cadet gets a job that pays 3 times their rex wage (if an FO). As someone said before, the market was on the side of the employee but rex changed the rules. Wage stagnation and the revolving door continues.
