Ex Rex Pilots; Would you have stayed if....
I believe that of the 70 or more that have resigned in the last few months, there are a number that would have stayed if T&C's had been improved.
What would it have taken for me to remain at Rex? Simple. A salary that would have awarded me as a captain the equivalent of a Virgin Fo's salary, overtime >70 hours flight time p/month and a retention bonus. ( and an ops department that support the crew )
I appreciate that lifestyle, morale etc. are also important issues but the bottom line is, am I being awarded fairly for my services. As I stated on a previous thread, Ops staff and senior flighty's are on a better wicket than Fo's, therefore, aircraft's claim that Rex cannot afford to award pilots appropriately has no credence.
I did not leave Rex because of equipment. I left because management were simply taking the p*ss.
I would be particularly interested to read the motives for resigning from other Ex Rex pilots.
