The questions are valid, but posed as a taxpayer. If Rex was able to generate funding for a fleet expansion they certainly didn’t need survival funds from the taxpayer. Someone owes me a couple of bucks.

What Rex does with ten jets, no lounges and second rate terminals is up to them. Except that’s not the end game, is it? I imagine they will shed crocodile tears when it all goes wrong and expect their mate to somehow subsidise their operation for the sake of fairness, competition, the battler, the flag, the whole vibe of thing.

$30 million for a jet operation goes away pretty quickly. Even if Rex had the AOC and admin in place, ten jets would eat that in about ten weeks
