I think Rex has too many planes, possibly one of the reasons for pilot shortage. The fleet reached as many as 40 but they've retired two aircraft, one for parts and the other for freight conversion. The fleet will continue to grow with the addition of the ex American eagle SAAB 340B's. The more planes you get, the more pilots you need.

And now that O'Connor has gone under (as an airline) the cancellation of Rex flights have risen considerably. (Another coincidence?) Now they are withdrawing the extra services that ended up suffocating O'Connor's. I understand that there is a pilot shortage, but in Mt Gambier we now have only one unreliable air service which is very frustrating. Although, I admit, not as bad as destinations which now have no service at all. Just my two cents (No offence David & Adam... ![]()

They are replacing the old A & B models with B+ models........ thats why you see those 340A parked up in WGA!
Mind you - I know one of the leasing companies who was leased two models to REX - interesting lease rates I must say for those birds |

Perhaps Rex might want to look at going back to the drawing board with their pilot salaries and the conditions.
I know it's been said many times before, and it is a touchy topic with some members of the board, but take a good long look at why pilots are leaving so quickly. And also why they may not be attracting as many as they once were. Mick |

It will probably use a VH-ZL* registration. |
