Ha. Was thinking the same thing, it's all about the shiny new (old) 737s. Almost wouldn't know they operate turboprops if you look at their social media presence!
Long suffering regional passengers are now asking questions such as why it’s costing over a $1000 for a return airfare in a 30 year old turboprop to one of their regional destinations yet less than $120 between Sydney and Melbourne?

It’s a bit hard to accuse Qantas and Virgin of being uncompetitive when this is the case.

All this flashy talk of jets and focus on the big cities is fast alienating Rex’s core group of passengers and not doing anything to promote their “country heart’.
