Thanks Harry,
I think REX management are hoping against hope that there are enough gullible people out there to actually make this thing work.
From what I have seen so far it is not a plan. It is a flawed attempt to solve a problem at the expense of some young and probably not too industry savy people!
In it's current form, it is no more than a scam. It will fail because those that sign up to it will not have done their homework. Those that do their homework, will not sign up to it!
The reality is that the industry may need to go down this path, but the rewards at the end will have to be sustantially greater than what they are at present.
Ironically, if the industry had not spent years driving down pay and conditions, all of this may not have been necessary!
