Rex very kindly offered to put him up at the Normanton Hotel for the (Friday) night; quite an experience for someone who'd only lived in Australia for a few years!
Whilst a one-off event, this may explain one method Rex use to ensure on-time performance!

These guys are going to kill it with Maggots.
Something people tend to forget is that the KPI is "on time performance"... not dont be late performance. If the flight left signifigantly early then it would still impact negatively on their OTP (From memory the requirement is the flight must depart within 15 minutes of the scheduled time)
