Re: Jets for Rex

KDex, I know where your coming from, But the turboprop guys who eventually went back to work after the collapse didn't scab anything off the CRJ guys, the Ansett administrators made it pretty clear they didn't want the CRJ's back flying because of the apparent cost, and they were hardly in a position to retrain also.

I for one, felt pretty bad about the guys who didn't get a guernsey back on the Saab and Metro, but don't take anything away from the guys that started Kendell flying after administration, we worked our butts off to see the KD flag flying again, sometimes only flying twice a fortnight and only getting paid when we flew.

Most of us have moved onto bigger and better things, and it's great the CRJ boys are all in work, albeit the ones who chose to retire etc.

Buzzy, I take it from your mouthing off you were not employed by Kendell at the time of the collapse? so as KDex says, shut your trap and get your facts right.
