Point taken
I too would like to see a few extra bucks spread around amongst the crew, espec the FOs. It would make for fewer heated discussions in my house, for one

REX company line is, and always has been....
"No matter what we pay 'em, they will still leave to fly the big shiny jet!"
This attitude, although partly correct but also flawed for several reasons, gives justification to management in their determination not to pay their pilots what they are worth.
I'm sure this will be a great source of comfort to them when the last of their experience base walks out the door, when the mass cancellation of services becomes a daily reality, and God forbid they realise that a 200 hour wanabee sitting next to a brand new Captain probably wasn't the best scenerio on a dark and stormy night!

Okay, just caught the local tv news wrap up.Seems it is official, the REX group, through Airlink, have cancelled the vast majority of Sydney - Dubbo services operated by Airlink due lack of crew.
Does this make them the first operators to park aircraft due to crew shortages?

People might have gotten tired of DM calling the pilots cock%$#&ers and hurling abuse.
Kind of went out in the 70's, David.
How the worm turns. He can go root his boot

Company attitude may have stood the test of time to date, but in the words of an old stoner, the times, they are a-changing! Especially when flight cancellations start to reflect on the bottom line. Stand back and make way for the eminent payrise! With the stone NJS looks likely to drop into the pond, I'm waxing up the surfboard

Lets make it loud and clear.
There will be no massive pay rise. Not on this watch. Not under this control or ownership.
Flights might have been cancelled this week, but pax were shifted onto Saab services. The network will ensure that the system keeps running and these petty issues do not disrupt the most important people at Rex, the passenger.
The more people whinge and whine, the less anyone will listen.
Me included.

(The Company) quote - The network will ensure that the system keeps running and these petty issues do not disrupt the most important people at Rex, the passenger.
Well I think Rex would feel that their share holders are more important than the passengers. Maybe that is wrong again. Rex's senior management only care about how much they get paid themselves so they consider themselves more important than pilots! I really don't know what would be going on in the minds of senior management
I know us pilots would love to be paid for what we are worth but the share holders would put up a fight to stop it from happening and senior management will always support the share holders above passengers and pilots!
