Probably not. After introducing their jet fleet, Rex's expenditure on advertising fell by nearly 25 percent. They may have thought having Sharpie spruiking their flights on The Today Show and the like was all that was needed. Or they thought that the Saab punters and their friends and families would all start lining up to catch Rex jets. A case study in how not to attack a new market segment.
