Well Guys, Some Good and some very poor points have been added in this thread by some who clearly know hat their talking about and some that dont.
Heres the FACTS:
1. Rex pilots will continue to suffer and be taken advantage of while ever we have a very poor quality pilot commitee. I know what your all going to say......theyre the only ones who put forward their time...RUBBISH. These are the same company yes men we continue to have on the RPC. they jump at the chance to have any involvement in these sort of things so they can be closest to the gossip. Its sad but things wont change until a realistic group of PRACTICAL memebers are chosen.
2. Working for REX is not that bad. Its the little things that would make life easier. GPUs that work, AC units that are actually used, more realistic schedules ( is it that hard to add 5 min guys ??) etc, etc, etc, etc
Truth is REX is brought to its knees by very very very poor quality middle management (gate, OPS, Airports etc). the sooner the company addresses the little things the sooner people will actually consider longer term things. Ive worked in 2 capital city bases and things are always the same.
3. REX pilots need to have the b***s to stay home on a casual day. Dont come in claim your cash and then bitch to others the next day. One in all in.
4. lets face it, we will NEVER get a significant pay rise. Its far better off putting our efforts toward making life at work a little easier for staff on the line.
5. For the record the REX checking and Training department has never been better. NH might be a little difficult to deal with at times but all the bitching comes from the same guys ( the ones who dont put any effort in, bitch all the time, have appaulling SOPS and FAIL in the sim and on line). We have one of the best FCOMS out there. Our procedures are safe and cater for the lowest common denominator. Operating like "the good old days" does not have a place in todays airline environment.
Look guys, pilots are getting harder to find. its about time pilots got together as one and actually put pressure on operators to achieve some of the smaller things.
Agree or disagree, these are the simple FACTS about Rex
Thanks
