If it is ‘full service’ as they have suggested it would be, I actually can’t see QF or VA being able to do it cheaper than Rex.
You would have to think they would have got a very good price on the aircraft, the pilot EA will be no more than the award, the cabin crew rates won’t be much more than what they pay on the Saab, and they already have infrastructure and ground support in ML and SY.
This will be a pretty lean outfit when it gets going....as to whether or not they can tap into the market without any FF flyer program of significance, any international connections or partners, and not much of an onward domestic network, that all remains to be answered.
