But as you mentioned if they do have the hours then all they will need is 500 on the SAAB and then they will have a command in Sydney after a few months so they can relax in the left seat and sit back and watch the industry for the next 12 months or so while while getting >5700kg multi crew turbine command time which im sure is better than their chieftain time!
Chins up fellas as it just may be a blessing in disguise for you
for those guys that dont go to rex if your interested in heading up to Darwin i dont think you would have much trouble getting a job with chieftain time already. I wouldnt go up there expecting to see the glamourous pistons your used to though or class A maintenance but i definetly think you would get a look in with Hardees, Directair, Air Frontier and Chartair. Good luck to you all.
unfortunately though its not the first to go and im sure it wont be the last over the next <insert time here> weeks, months, years.
cheers all
