you can lose long term employees like that and not be bothered.
Stubborn 1950s style management is how this happens. Darwinism at it's best, change with the times or be consigned to history. If you can't adapt to the new world that aviation is moving into, that is no more flood of young enthusiastic aviation employees, then you will have no staff, especially flight crew and engineers. Not many want to do jobs where you have to commute to a place, spend time away from home, etc etc, unless it pays well and has plenty of time off, both of which Rex is failing at miserably and whats more getting worse.
