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.

Your math is flawed
The average of the 2 x 737 flights listed is 151.5
The third flight was Coffs to SYD (SAAB)
Further
REX's 737s are not 180 seats, try 174
So closer to 88% on the 2 mentioned flights
27 out of 34 for the SAAB 80%
I realize that these are just 3 flights however, I am yet to see any posted figures here or anywhere else, just random guesses here and there
