and dont forget Lim Kim's response to why he doesnt want to pay proper wages:
"you go fly big shiny jet for 200 000 dollar........ your potential to earn that"
Rex has potential to be a great company but chooses to not support the crew at the coal face who make them all this "profit"......
If a company dont pay you well, they dont respect you. Simple.

You have to ask yourself why most of the senior pilots/captains are leaving..... even qantaslink pay at least 10k higher base salary; And there training salary is higher than Rex's first year f/o wage (if u can call it a wage...... rex f/o wage 42k).
I dont care about flying a jet I care about lifestyle and a professional wage that compares with the hard work I have done and continue to do with the personal sacrifices I make for it. It just happens that jet jobs get more money and a possible lifestyle benefit as well thats why people go.
Dont kid yourself, this profit was made from the sweat of hard working professionals that were cut down at the onset of the GFC using scare tactics and the like to accept average wages only to have this record profit share go to the board of directors and senior managers as "tax free dividends".......
