I believe that there is another saying.. something along the lines of "History is wasted on the young"
It is indeed an unfortunate and sad story about two once great airlines.
A catch 22 perhaps in the eyes of management, who BELIEVE that REX is only a stepping stone for pilots to move on. Whilst T&C's are like this, it will continue to be treated as a stepping stone. If T&C's were improved, then maybe people would stay a little longer.... OK, costs more in the short term, but saves in the long term.
oops... management don't get bonusses for LONG TERM achievements!!!!
Hate to say it guys and gals... it is NOW time to UNITE, and stand firm.
