The way the check and training system is operating in Rex you would think there was no pilot shortage problem at all. The head of check and training needs to have his head examined. Never have I met someone so ego driven, yet so pathetic. As I understand it, unless you have a ZL background, you are not good enough to be in the training dept... at least thats how it appears in ADL. The FOM at that base should be embarassed from recent events.
Heres a news flash for thows that think the Saab is some sort of space shuttle....IT'S NOT. It's a Saab. A great plane that does a good job, but it ain't that hard!! The sooner certain people loose the "little airline syndrome" and except they are running a basic regional airline, that hires average pilots that now usually don't even have an ATPL, and stop trying to pretend Rex and the Saab is something it's not the better. Where are the next lot of Captains coming from? The last lot failed and the guys behind them have even less experience!!!
The head of T and C could also do with a few lessons on people skills. How someone even gets into that position when they have the same ability to listen as a door mat is beyond me.
