Rex ruled the world's best regional carrier
Very true BB, and it will only be the experienced pilots moving on. None of the new REX F/O's will be ready for command for at least 5 years, and unless there are changes to the Regs, that will be never!
The time to command is now back to 12 months, and that's during a period of almost zero pilot recruitment across the industry. Only Cadets are being offered positions at REX. Do the math! Once any number of Captains or upgradeable F/O's move on, REX will have to start cancelling services. They've done it before, and despite now having a total pilot complement of 270 (30 more than 2 years ago), the previously slashed services heve not been reinstated! That 270 does not include up to 50 Cadets in the wings. They will only add to REX's dilema
This is a train wreck waiting to happen. But hell, I've been banging on about it for more than 2 years, so I guess REX management can't say they haven't been warned.

Krusty - have you really been warning them? Or have you just been posting on an anonymous forum? You may well be right, but your starting to sound just a little bit arrogant mate.
