So now REX captians, are not only been paid absolute Cr$p money, on top of that, REX management are going to make them work harder and under more pressure because the person in the RHS is going to have no previous real life flying experience. This problem is so easy to fix, yet management are so worried about the bottom line they won't pay to resolve it. I fell sorry for the great guys and girls at REX who are being put under pressure. No disrespect to the young cadets who want to get into the industry, but this is not the way. Believe me, it is hard and crappy, but some of the most amazing experiences I have ever had were doing S/E Charter up north. It is great to jump into the RHS of a nice shiny turbo prop, but not spending sometime in GA cutting your teeth, well you are missing out on building that foundation of confidence. It is what has made Australian pilots so well respected for so long. Good luck to all.
