Thanks to all for your input and ideas; it all helps.

I've read all the posts and articles that I can find (not sure if I've read everything that is available though so I'm still looking) and it seems there are a lot more negative views of the Rex scheme than there are positive ones. I don't think I've actually come across any posts or info from anyone who has participated in the scheme and recommends it; that in itself might tell the story?

As a newbie, I'm finding it very hard to decide just what the value of the qualifications gained through the Rex scheme are when compared to what I could obtain through the various other flying schools and which ones offer the best deal for $$$$.

It seems that the first GA job pay packet isn't much different to what a graduate of the Rex scheme would earn anyway and some of the GA operators don't offer much to even their Chief Pilots. Hard to work out where one would be better off. I guess that depends on what I want to fly and where I want to do it; am I on the right track here?

As always, any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cn
