<p>Australian regional airline Regional Express (Rex) announced last month that it will offer a 25-percent reimbursement of training costs to new pilots who agree to stay with the airline for at least two years. The announcement comes in response to a “severe pilot shortage [that] has resulted over the last four months in massive disruption to Rex’s operations,” according to John Sharp, deputy chairman of Regional Express Holdings. To further combat the&nbsp; shortages, Rex and Mangalore Airport announced last month the creation of a pilot training academy at Mangalore Airport, Victoria. Students will graduate with a commercial pilot license, a multi-engine rating and a command instrument rating within 32 weeks, according to Rex. </p>
