in a nutshell re: the CT7 and fuel flows, Altitudes, etc..
SUC:
You are correct. What I should have said was that REX have now promoted their most Junior F/O's. There are some F/O's at REX, as indeed at other airlines, who choose to remain at their base of choice and/or for whatever reason remain in the RHS. The net result however is the same.
REX are facing another critical crew shortage. Just how deep it goes will depend on how much the major airlines get their acts together over the next year or so. In any case REX's strategy of cutting routes may give them the breathing space to recruit more upgradeable F/O's. Bloody Bandaid!
