Rex rebuffs pilot training suggestions

[Bang Bus]

My point is more along the lines of that airlines are employing low hour pilots because they aren't prepared to pay for experienced ones. It has been done to death I know, but to purchase a house and raise a family in this country on a minimal wage is not a viable long term offer, when someone else is offering twice the pay. It's a no brainer. Its not all about the shiney jet. Its the whole package. I would rather be a well paid turboprop driver with my desired lifestyle than a low paid jet driver. But even the lifestyle is disappearing at an alarming rate. Unfortunately the difference between turboprop and jet wages is such that people are lured more and more for financial reasons. I don't expect the two jobs to pay the same but it wouldn't hurt any regional in Australia to try and close the gap a little. You never know it might even help with retention.
