So more demand than two full 340s/Q200s each day, seven days a week and that route is only 'likely mildly profitable'? Rex only fly that route 5 days a week. If they're not hauling in cash off that route they need a new revenue management system.

So this is always the bit of the Rex argument that's always interesting. Apparently monopoly routes are bad ... unless it's Rex that has the monopoly.

I don't have a problem with Rex
per se, but I do have a problem with poor and hypocritical arguments.
