Thank's satos, beat me to it.
It should be remembered that a lower than average CPI pay deal(s) over the past decade or so has led to this point. The gradual nibbling away over the years has resulted in REX pilots being some 20% behind their Qantaslink counterparts, and now well below what most GA operators are paying their turbine drivers on even smaller equipment.
Whatever form the industrial action takes, I think REX management must bear responsibility for the outcome. But of course, they'll do what they always do!
