I'm talking about the turboprop operators.
I know of quite a number of pilots in companys like Hardys, Skytrans et al... Who have on the plus side of 500ME command, even in excess of 1000ME command.
Each one I've spoken to does not even want to CONSIDER going to REX, because there is either a pay cut, or not much difference in pay. All for the expense of going to the trouble of learning a completely new aircraft, hauling the wife/kids/life to a different town.
I think REX just doesn't understand that pilots want a life. Stick together lads.
Does everyone feel my drift? I'm sure if they had a 40% payrise, the applications would start flowing in.
(Did I say Payrise, oops!
)
