G'day Krusty:-)
Tell me something (if you can seeing as you have a fair amonut of inside info with REX )am curious but was kendells in anyway like the Co we see now (REX) re terms & conditions? Did the day REX started ops see a slide downwards re low moral, low wages etc etc or has it evolved to be what it is today? Or did such conditions exist b4 they started up as REX? I know from many years ago when I was in a diff life around planes (inc Kendells) but not flying commercially Kendells was damn hard to get into & if you did get in you pretty ,much went on to Ansett some time down the track. Seems these days the whole shooting match is just a sess pool (chk spelling) with (from what I read here) a very poorly run (management wise) Co that's not that well looked upon by pilots in general.
Lots of bashing goes on re REX here but again simply put did the current culture exist b4 hand? As far as I can tell it didn't but I wasn't at that level at the time.
