Nice post Wiz, you're right. I'm sure a year or 2 down the track the Rex cadets will realise their plight, regret their mistake and look enviously at the 'well paid' majors.
But I can't see them moving on with such ease as might be done in Europe. Who's going to hire a rex cadet with 2 years RH flight experience and no command time? So this evil plan to retain crew for peanuts might just work, except where do their captains come from?
Anyone know the proposed time frame for a new cadet to reach command?
