Good opportunity for the turbo prop guys - but if what people are saying on here is true, it might be a difficult 2022/23 for Rex to maintain a properly sized pilot workforce.
Well when the person employed re the 737 crewing (in co-ordination with the REX CP) was ex VA longhaul a fair assumption ex VA pilots might have a leg up.
Not as if there wasn't a ****load of diversified airline 737 experience to choose from....as well as VA and associated entities.

Numbers are not mentioned but IF the 737 recruitment was VA heavy then various managers within REX should have "please explain" as to why they have cost REX $$ in crew training/turnover.
