...the reason for my inquirey
It is sad to say that the pay scale at REX puts a lot of RPT operators (even Regional Jet operators) over in the United States to shame. The cost of living on the East Coast of the US is comparable to most major cities in AU. Although, I had quite the frugal lifestyle, I made it work. If I would move to AU to continue my flying career, and REX was the only way, I could make it work. Now, I do not agree with managements mentality, "Oh...they will get their time and leave, so therefore, we do not have to pay them well." But like I said, if REX is my gateway to flying in AU and truly "Living the Dream," (once I move on to greener pastures, naturally) I would definitely consider it. "Living the Dream in the US, flying-wise, is long gone. Plus, a 2-year stint really isn't that long. Just my 2 cents.
