A training capt gets 5% extra. A cadet gets sfa. So why wouldnt Rex make eveyone in the left seat a trainer? When the cadets get the CASA license then on paper they meet the job requirement. Some of you guys are in denial. If they lose drivers cadets will get early commands. Bet. Then REX will be happy to lose the training capt's because they can still pay sfa.
Assuming that line Captains are happy to sign up for the extra responsibility.
Cadets don't meet the requirements for a command as they don't have a ATPL till they meet the requirements and they will also need 500 multi command which also needs to be negotiated somehow. So without a dispensation or some charter flying these cadets won't be captains any time soon.
