REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
43 - You really must be foreign. It is "Cyclone" season over here not "Hurricane".....
also this from you - "I've noticed a few people doing silly things like going to the pacific islands during hurricane season just because of pent up travel bugs. Things you would normally avoid unless you really needed the cheaper fares." It couln't possibly be that that timing suits families, work etc........

Sorry for the late response, I spent the last few days rolling on the floor in laughter at how stupid some posters are on this forum and gave them some time to think about what they posted. Sorry I'm not Aboriginal, so that makes me a foreigner so I better not post anything negative about the Roo in future. As for where I live or come from that matters nowt, but it's definitely within the coastline of mainland Australia. Can we put a perma gag on anyone from QLD when they talk about people that are not 'one of them', it makes the rest of Australia look stupid.

Trevor - I'm glad you are enjoying your retirement.
Hurricane is just another name for a tropical storm or cyclone, yes it's used in the US more often for their weather patterns. Point is you called me a foreigner for using some weird lingo. In Sydney and Melbourne where most of the 'foreigners' live we have some that have been here 50 years plus that can barely speak English, as they escaped their various regimes with a group of others who speak the same language and never needed to learn the Queens speak. Some of them could barely call it a storm, let alone specifically a cyclone or hurricane. Some have been Australians before you were born.
In the street I live in my Neighbors are a Ukranian, 3 families of Brits, an Irish family, a South African family and a family from mainland China that all migrated here in the last 10 years and are now citizens. Then there are other families that have lived their whole life here.
When you bring the term 'foreigner' into an argument it looks as though you are trying to denigrate the individuals knowledge of local goings on. Otherwise it does matter nowt where I'm from.

ahhhh No it isn't.- The BOM never refers to a cyclone in the southern. hemisphere as a "hurricane". They never say "Tropical Hurricane Winifred" is bearing down on Innisfail.
What a load of rambling non sensical generalisations. Doesn't matter where some one is from, doesn't stop revolving tropical storms spinning in clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere, hence - Cyclone.
You are just ignorant.

Haha, coming from the guy that called me a foreigner, I think you should stop posting, you are sounding really unintelligent now.
Actually, keep going I really want to know how low your IQ actually is. Its so far around Pauline Hanson level, maybe Trump, lets see if it can get to Clive Palmer level.
In anycase you are so far off topic now you might as well be a qanon shamen.

And it's (there's a clue for you) shaman, not shamen. And no, shamen is not the plural.
But, they don't spell mum "mom"
However there is this that throws a spanner in the works...

Oops seems to me American Samoa warnings are for a Hurricane and Western Samoa are Cyclones... hmm wonder why that is...
Hurricanes and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon: tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is a generic term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation.
Here ' ', there's a couple of apostrophes for you, see if you can figure out which contractions they should be placed in in your previous post.

Not sure what any of this has to do with Rex now.
Dude, the implication is, if you're not Australian you couldn't possibly know anything about aviation, you know, worlds best aviators, worlds best air traffic system, worlds best facilities, especially the airports, they're awesome. So, if you're not Australian, pull your head in and know your place.

I've lost track of this thread.... did I miss REX announcing a Fiji service? or what?
And lost amongst our discussion of weather systems in the South Pacific, we've completely missed REX's first anniversary of jet operations!

With Rex advertising for direct entry Saab Captains today, we can see the same old cycle repeating.
Soon John Sharp will be bleating about pilots being poached and therefore Rex will need to source crew from overseas. This will also wedge nicely with the 737 operation as they’ll be frothing to get cheap foreign crew on the jet.
South Africa, Sweden, Estonia and the US…. which country will Rex put it’s heart into next in the search for foreign pilots?
