TO CLARIFY
Know one except Rex & travel agents know how many $79 seats on every flight. Suspect very few during peak hour flightsMon-Fri.

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.

Who knows ? Maybe they want to keep the public buying them ? Conventional wisdom is dangerous, in this new world.

that's easy to say & impossible for anyone to disprove

And maybe they didn't. I know what I think is more likely.
Who knows. Rex had to get sales fares out there before other airlines grabbed their passengers.
