Time for an update... -The protected industrial action carried out by Rex pilots on Monday the 1st of February 2016 was widespread and it seems took Rex management by surprise in it's scale and participation. -Flights were delayed, cancelled or impacted in every state. -Even management pilots such as check Captains participated and at least one simulator check was affected. -This was despite the threat that Rex would deduct an entire days pay of any pilot who participated in industrial action. -After many delays in responding to the AFAPs claims, Rex have once again proposed clauses that will still significantly impact on the lifestyle of the pilots who up to this point have been happy to accept lower pay for 'more normal lifestyle conditions'. -More industrial action is now an option. -When will Rex management learn that going to war with it's pilots by fostering a culture of intimidation leads to nothing but angst and will lead to more people seeking to move on elsewhere? -If the rumors are true concerning significant opportunities occurring with domestic and international airlines within the next twelve months, Rex may find themselves struggling to once again crew flights as many pilots, especially cadets, seek employment elsewhere.
