Time's up....Round 2 on the way

Lil' Blueberry,

You are spot on.
Quite a few of us were 'happy' to stay for a while longer (only a short while longer) to see if management will agree on an equitable EBA, recognising the professionalism expected from us.....BUT, after what LKH said last week, the morale has dropped through the floor and many, I mean MANY, are now actively looking to move ASAP and using the meagre REX salary to fund our job search.

The spike in oil actually gave REX some reprieve to get their act together, instead, nothing has been done to keep experience over the last few months and now, VB,Jet* and the likes will have a larger pool of experienced pilots in line.

The flying is pure enjoyment and the people at the coalface are fantastic to work with.......but it is sad to see what it has come to, and how much more worse it is going to be.
