REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
https://www.fairwork.gov.au/ArticleD...guide.pdf.aspx
There a few ex VAA guys there that I’m sure could give you a run down.
Rex’s whole strategy for the jet was “project mother.” Makes for interesting reading. Someone here could post it for you with some luck
From the Project Preso. Good luck to them no doubt they will need it one day.
Salary expectations will also be very constrained and a fresh EBA (enterprise bargaining agreement) will get rid of the decades of accumulated entitlements.”
Those EBAs would be “pegged at 10% lower than Jetstar”, the presentation says.

Anyone has any idea/info on what’s involved in the REX (737) interview ? Thanks.
Press reports today indicate that the NSW and Vic premiers are now discussing the complete reopening of their Murray border probably from when Victoria reaches 80% double-vaxxed in early November. This is obviously great news for the airlines as it will reopen MEL-SYD but I wonder if REX will reopen this route at the same time as VA and QF given how poorly REX has performed between the 2 cities.
I know we are all getting hammered by stand downs but in a way I feel it is particularly unfair for Rex 737 crew.
To be hired in the middle of a pandemic by a company that is boasting that the pandemic is offering up a uniquely favourable operating environment to enter (cheap leases, availability of staff, airport slots) but then stands you down due to the same pandemic seems completely unjust. It was a known quantity when they started the operation and when they hired you. It provides multiple benefits to Rex that they are happy to embrace. But when the pandemic proves difficult terrain, it’s the staff who get cast aside.
I know stand down provisions are baked into Fair Work rules but for an operation commenced during a pandemic and benefiting from its effects to claim it an an external effect seems very unfair.
