Hi Guys,
I have recently been advised by REX that I have the opportunity of the first interview in Wagga Wagga next month. I hold a PPL and was wandering if the interview will be mainly aircraft theory technical questions (given my involvement in aviation already)? Other tips on what will be in the interview much appreciated also.
Cheers.

Does anyone know how long the interview in Wagga Wagga goes for? And how long after the interview do you find out about the flight screening, and how long does that go for?
Sorry for the million questions, thanks in advance.

I heard that right now there are 7 cadets training in Wagga, 7 instructors employed and even more aeroplanes.
Also, the only get co-pilot instrument ratings.
Anyone confirm this?

REX cadetship
Hi guys,
First time poster, sorry if this has been covered in the thread already.
I've just been invited to attend a second interview at AAPA in Wagga for the REX cadet scheme. In my first interview, I asked whether there was the ability to get into the left hand seat. They said yes, and it takes around 5 years (out of the 7 you must commit to REX once your training is up).
Now for my questions...once again, sorry if it's been covered already.
1) Has anyone sat the 2nd interview before? If so, what can I expect?
2) I've seen people mentioning "motivation letters" as part of the process. What exactly are these?
Any help would be much appreciated. And I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have regarding the first interview/sim test/WOMBAT test and what to expect. Thanks!

whitham89,
1. The second interview is similar to the first interview but with executives. It involves around you being loyal to the company. You have to demonstrate not just your ambitions of flying but what you can bring to the company.
2. The motivation letters are used by REX to gauge whether you fit their selection criteria through written language. These letters are usually very personal.
Aviator95,
REX is currently finalising the numbers for REX017, you should hear back soon. Also, recent changes in management has changed the entire recruitment process of the RECP program.

REX 018
Hi guys has anyone put their application in for REX018?
My application was submitted a few weeks back. Was wondering if anyone has heard back, or in previous rounds how long it took to receive a response from Rex.
Cheers

Hey mate.
I hear they are still in the process of selecting candidates. Rex 017 are only 5 weeks in so I don't think 18 candidates will hear back until after Christmas.

Rex Loans
Hi
From the Rex Cadet frequently asked question guide it notes "3 different loan schemes that allow the cadet to finance the $80,000 fee. This will be fully explained when the cadet is offered a place".
Does anyone have an insight to these types of loans?
One more question, if you can help.?
If the cadet leaves before seven years the loan balance and ACCURED INTEREST shall be paid. Any idea what what the interest rate is?
Many thanks
