remoak,
REX Pilots are not pushing for a payrise. The EBA still has a year to run and as such they are not in a position to push for a payrise.
What they are doing however is voting with their feet!
So what is left? With very few suitable candidates remaining these guys and girls are fastly becoming irreplacable.
There is a large number of senior pilots, both F/O's and Captains who are currently sitting on the fence waiting to see what the company intends to do.
If the company chooses to do nothing, then these people will also walk. That is the reality.
And don't give me that chapter 11 bullsh@t. REX can afford to improve the wages and conditions of their pilots, they just do not choose to do so, as is their right.
The clock is ticking. Crewing are already cancelling flights due to lack of crew, and this is just the beginning.
