'Employment In The REX Group"

So, this is going to get real interesting.

Picture this:

An inexperienced Metro III Captain teamed up with a fresh 'graduate' as FO on a Pelair Express night-freight run YSSY-YSCB-YMML, or the YSSY - YMML or YMML-YSSY legs.

Summer: Frontal storms from YSSY to YMML.

Winter: Fog in ML, AY, AV, WG, CB, NW, WLM, BTH etc - and a few times with FG at SY and BK.

Flightwatch info available only via FS - workload permitting.

ATC using un-rated ATCer's during rated controllers 'breaks'.

No fancy EFIS as used in training - only the 'TSO'd Garmin 100 .

Back of the clock operations.

20-30 year old recycled pieces-of-turbine-****e with very average anti/de-icing equipment (just to give a false sense of security)

A general lack of situational awareness that most of the new 'up and coming, low timers' have.

Obviously, someone thought this whole thing through.

Put a bullet in the chamber, and spin the barrell
