Can't find much other proof
But if VA closed, who would they interline with QF?

As I said, that would have left QF/Link with a sizable over REX, so yes, they had no choice
It's difficult to say whether that is the most stupid thing you've written because, well, the competition is torrid. Just think about what you're trying to argue here - you're saying that Rex had no choice but to get into domestic jet operations because if VA folded then they would have to interline with QF. Leaving aside the fact that at no point did VA cease flying during the administration, and there were no shortage of suitors for VA, just how big do you think Rex's interline sales with Virgin were anyway, to the extent that any agreement was even in place subsequent to VARA coming into being. It's just complete and utter piffle what you're suggesting. Rex made zero mention of anything even vaguely along those lines when it outlined its case for getting into jets.

Separately, Rex managed 43.1 percent loads today between Sydney and Melbourne; 55.6 percent across the jet network for the day.
