Plus I imagine the trip cost of a clapped out Saab over a short distance would be competitive.
Is your 0900 QF flight is a jet?? or does your alternative have a nice lounge?? a lot of the pollies and high end business clients do not want to travel on turbo props( I know from previous experience) and the same amount have lounge access in their contracts.
Rex will loose a fortune running 7 x daily SY-CB flights. On top of their lack of passenger demand on the jet operation.
