My bold.
The barrel itself isn't completely empty of talent Krusty - there are plenty of high time twin piston and multi crew turboprop drivers in their thirties and early forties that would jump at an opportunity like Rex - if only Rex would reach deeper into their pockets for improved T&C's while they are new to the company as an F/O and offer a decent path over the next 20+ years to retirement. That is about all it would take and I would personally call Sandy and fire that application up again after declining two offers of interviews).
They might also be a little more attractive to many if they had a few more east coast options for basing and home most nights..... should you catch my drift - many of us would rather leave the industry or stay in our present position than work in Sydney, s#!tloads of overnights (unless we were chasing allowances) etc.....
Those of us in that position know that from what we read and hear that something like that will never happen, so around the wheel goes for Rex again.
Apache.... everyone "luvs yer mate".... especially that "chick" from your waaaaay distant past in Boulia that night you mentioned while sitting in the General R W Bourke that evening almost 10 years ago....
