Actually there's no maybe to it. Rex made a statement to the ASX stating that they were selling 100,000 promotional $79 fares. Both ASX rules and the Corporations Act have pretty clear rules relating to the veracity of such statements.

Funny how Qantas and Virgin demonstrate no such reluctance when it comes to talking up how quickly their sale fares sell out. If Rex had made even a half decent fist of selling their promotional fares we'd be reading about it. The fact that their $79 fares are still currently available every day bar three or four in March and right across the Easter long weekend says that they are not exactly shooting the lights out on sales.

And maybe they didn't. I know what I think is more likely.
