Rex pay and conditions for Direct entry F/O

Gday,

may not be entirely relevent to this cadet discussion but here is what a recruiter said to me two days ago:

* 28 Day roster - in which the first 14days are set in stone.
* Pay: 30k for the first 90 days then $42k once checked to line..... which ever happens first.
* D.T.A of $5 per flight hour (i believe) payed when your away from home base so you can earn depending on where your based anywhere from an extra $2k - 10k on top of your base salary.

Forgot to ask about bond period, but i believe is two years.

Good luck in the interview, interviews are generally harder with more experience you have..... but just try to relay the experience and WHAT you learned from it, even if it seemed negative. Always be learning.........

Yes while QF.link is better pay and basings etc dont listen to these morons who poo poo every thing about Rex.... truth is its RPT, Multi-crew time which is invaluable to your future airline prospects.

Short term sacrifice....long term gain...... and great experience!

Good luck.
