In regards to the high cap AOC, my understanding is that they have kept the company structure/procedures/ops etc at the high cap level from the kendell days, so it 'should' be an easy process should they wish to go high cap.

Good luck to them..

Things are not going so well in the US. It is reported that American Eagle will retire its entire Saab 340 fleet this year. Could that provide a source of experienced pilots for Rex?

Landing them without damaging the gear is easy, because the gear doesn't come down. It is landing them without damaging the fuselage that is the tough bit.
Touché sir!

However if VBs shares go any lower REX could buy 'em up and get their pilots back...
This could be true but the current trend indicates REX doen't like taking on experienced pilots, especially those with a SAAB endorsement. Maybe if VB was South African based, the pilots might get half a chance of getting a job with REX.

just a question to you all, now that qf and j* are going to ground planes, also i see J* differing planes, will that slow the pilot exodus from the smaller companies?
i hear and see most companies complaining they are under staffed in all areas of aircraft pilots/engineers if most had read the signs many years ago they wouldn't be in this situation.
now fuel is up airlines around the world are in retreat mode,
some are just going to hold there growth plans back a while.
I guess the need for rapid pilot recruitment in that area are going to stand still a while,
now is the time that companies should be training people giving them the time of day that is required so that if and when the market picks up again they will be able to weather yet another storm.
woldn't this be a better solution than just crying fowl and using a 457 visa's as an excuse, sure as markets fall and rise all around there will be a forever changing supply and demand but shouldn't you look in your back yard first before you look in someone elses!
just a thought anyway

cheers
