Just waiting for the entire operation to fizz out whilst munching on popcorn.
Sure, mid year school holidays might add some punters to backfill what would’ve been Tiger’s operation but other than that it’s bleeding.
Mates (who used to work at Rex) have issues with their terrible middle management and staff morale is at a terrifying low.
Qantas and Jetstar will live another day.
So too, will Virgin. I heard at the terminal the other day: “Rex who?”
Virgin still has name recognition and a loyalty scheme. What’s Rex going to offer? DingoDollars? RexDollars?
Everyone in Australia was already sold on the idea that if you ain’t going Qantas, then you going Virgin. JH seems to be doing a better job at V then at the star, as long as their old ways don’t creep back in, Rex will be gone in under 18 months.
