The software that I and it seems the media also use in that article, are exact. Sure I do park alongside them at times and we play count the passengers. Not exact as you say, give for take 5 bodies perhaps.

The data doesn't lie. The numbers March to June, May especially was beyond a disaster, the media in the above article already skimmed the numbers. Bit hard to judge at the moment they are not exactly flying a heavy schedule.

The flights are full at the moment. Now they need to try and convert that to a 10-12 aircraft operation. And go on from there. They will never get to 30, Tiger started to implode on many fronts at about 18 and then went backwards. Rex will face the same operational headwinds as the operation is capital city based.

The threat for Rex, is if Bonza pulls out Plan B when the Plan A fantasy falls apart, which would be operate what Tiger did. Bonza and Rex overlapping would spell the end for RexJet.
