REX company line is, and always has been....
"No matter what we pay 'em, they will still leave to fly the big shiny jet!"
This attitude, although partly correct but also flawed for several reasons, gives justification to management in their determination not to pay their pilots what they are worth.
I'm sure this will be a great source of comfort to them when the last of their experience base walks out the door, when the mass cancellation of services becomes a daily reality, and God forbid they realise that a 200 hour wanabee sitting next to a brand new Captain probably wasn't the best scenerio on a dark and stormy night!
