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
Hi Deano.
Actually my math is pretty good however i need to make my self read things properly.
So point taken re the third flight being a SAAB.
But I still stand by my comment and that is when an airline like REX operate relatively few flights per day it only takes a couple of low loads to bring down
the averages for the rest of the fights to below break even and you can't make money like that. It appears their loads over the holiday period have been ok
however Poppajo's data seem to show that overall the loads aren't great.
Fly safe and play hard.
