Yeah I'm well aware of the fact that REX FO's can't presently log ICUS (sorry should have made that clear in the original post). This is why I'm curious as to what they are going to do.
It's as if management know something that no one else does. I agree that it would be pretty stupid and ballsy of CASA to allow an exemption for this to happen.
And what's the point of regs if you're just going to exempt them to suit companies who want to get an unfair competitive advantage by locking their staff in for seven years simply because they won't provide decent T&C's?
So either REX management know something we don't about possible exemptions, or things will get interesting in the coming year.
