Young inexperienced guys will last longer in the company. They will also adapt to the sop's much smoother and why would an experienced pilot want to work for REX anyway? Older, experienced pilots demand higher salaries or rates. I have seen very sharp young pilots with around 1000 hours who are very good! They wouldn't complain much and would be happy about the fact that they are flying turbines, which is a big step from pistons. REX is just a stepping stone for bigger and better things!!!! And i am glad REX are doing this, it gives us young pilots a chance to prove ourselves. REX have a very high standard and whether you are experienced or not REX have given everyone the opportunity to prove themselves with high expectations. I agree, life’s been difficult for some pilots... I say just be happy!
