Aircraft
Why is it that supply and demand or the "we need to pay the big money to management to attract the people we need" applies to management positions yet the same principle does not apply to the pilots? If REX cannot find pilots at the current pay level surely the wages must rise? And don't forget that REX are hardly coming off a high base wage. Given the cost of a license REX's salaries are well below what would be considered big salaries. I have read your stuff of price elasticity but using that logic REX will just park aeroplanes.
Management teams across the country need to deal with reality. They want people to fund their training and expect to pay them very badly. After 50 years things have come full circle. Either you pay the money for self funded pilots or you pay for all the training and keep salaries at a lower level. I don't see any alternative, as importing pilots won't be an option because there aren't any to import. I suppose you just park you gear against the fence.
