getaway, you have obviously never worked inside any airline or probably any aviation organisation for that matter. If the induction courses run smoothly then possibly, just possibly, an experienced new hire pilot might be able to be checked to line in just over 4 weeks. One big bottleneck is Sim availability. As Rex certainly don't have their own Sim resources they are at the mercy of whoever does, and they aren't going to be doing any favours for Rex. Also this is a new operation, so CASA will be watching everything carefully, bringing everything to crashing halt if they find anything they don't like(remember Tiger).
