I was really really keen too... but with 2 kiddies on the ground I couldn't do it.
I would need to be a Captain in Rex for 10 years to come close to what I am making in GA now - and based on Krusty's narrative of the Hazo/Rex wage freezes, in 10 years that's still about all I would be making.
On another topic - I was in Orange today and had a cup of coffee with my cousin, a public service management type.
She told me that Rex has a really bad reputation in ORG now due to a long series of last-minute cancellations and the local business people need to charter an aircraft to be certain of getting to SYD for their commitments.
Sad that they're treating their clients with the same contempt as their staff
