I think that too many people are casting aspersions without full consideration or understanding of the facts. Until you have sat down with members of REX, voiced your concerns and received their response (face to face) you are ill informed.
I don't believe most people understand what REX currently has in place and/or the myriad of variations and options they are still considering, with a view to benefit the individuals selected for the program.
Like anything, it is not perfect, granted. However, at some point pilots with airline aspirations have to bite the bullet and invest time and money into their own future. Like most worthwhile causes or ambition, sacrifice from the individual is required; an airline career will not be handed to you on a silver platter.
What REX offers is a great deal more than many other airlines, and is a step in the right direction. It is an opportunity for young pilots that deserves more than just the flack it continues to cop.
