How is that any different to a successful regional airline who has made consistent profits using proven methods and equipment throwing the dice on a massive gamble and losing but now howling unfair because they’re not getting government assistance?
I feel for the poor Saab crews who have been thrown under the bus for the sake of ego driven fantasies.
If Rex had sailed the ship steady and kept to their core business I have no doubt they’d be in a much better position than now and probably more profitable still than most other airlines in Australia.
But with all this fancy new and expensive to maintain gym equipment they’re bleeding like no tomorrow and can’t see a way out?
Yep- Alliance has "Looked after the knitting" and gone from strength to strength.
