Sharpie might want to try reading Rex's own media releases before trying to gaslight us. Rex's media release
REX LAUNCHES INTO SYDNEY – MELBOURNE 100,000 TICKETS ON SALE FROM $79 of 2 December was unequivocal. It quotes none other than '
Rex Deputy Chairman, the Hon John Sharp AM' himself saying,
The first 3 Rex Boeing 737-800s will take off between Sydney and Melbourne on 1 March 2021. Rex will begin with 9 Sydney-Melbourne return services a day.
And directly below that is the schedule showing nine return flights a day. Up until about three weeks ago they were selling fares on all nine flights in each direction.
That media release was also issued to the ASX as an official announcement so the ASX's Listing Rule 3 (...
an officer or employee of a listed entity who gives, or authorises or permits the giving of, materially false or misleading information to ASX under Listing Rule 3.1 (including in response to any enquiry ASX may make of the entity under that rule) may commit a criminal offence ...) and Section 1041E(1) False or misleading statements of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) come into play there.
In the meantime Sharpie might want to address why -RQC (nee -VOP) was delayed by 40 minutes out of Melbourne just now. Another faulty aerobridge?
