SOC just means you've been taken off the roster. It could be anything from an investigation to your medical has expired.
Anyway, I left REX in 2007 after reading a magazine interview with JD that basically said, " we don't want to pay our pilots any more. What's the point? They are going to leave anyway."
He went on to say, " the Saab 340 is a great aircraft and we have no plans of replacing it at any stage."
After reading those 2 statements I said "I'm outa here".
The company is stagnant, any thought of anything changing is non existant. Pilots will still be performing min-rest overnights and waiting for a car park space in years to come. Such a shame there is no dialogue.
By the way, when is Saab going to stop supporting the 340? Those EFIS systems must be pretty old now...
