Rex pilots may not be perturbed by so called management threats to EBA negotiations but they should be concerned with the two edged sword hovering over them - drought and recession which are the greatest threats to regional airline operators. REX management may not be flavour of the month but they do run a tight ship , the very qualities we demand of companies in which our superannuation is invested. Whatever action REX pilots take in relation to their demands I hope they remember a Don Kendell quote " I'm not your pay master , it's your customers who pay your bills and if you value your situation in these troubled times them you must meet their expectations". Yes an old quote but relevant to the several recessions I've experienced in the last 40 years.
