These don't reflect the single digit to low double digit loads being touted about on here, yes it's just 2 flights, but from what's being posted regularly you would be under the impression that REX are struggling to get to 1/4 full on every flight

And herein lies the problem.
These three flights averaged 110 punters. Based on a 180 seat aircraft that's a load factor of 61% and I would be surprised if that was anywhere near break even much less making any money although I don't have access to that data.
So even if REX have several flights with good loads it only takes one or two low double digit flights to undo any gains made.
I just don't see the numbers adding up at this stage.
Fly safe and play hard.
