REX paid between $2 and $3 million per year over this period
Pro rata REX fleet over this period was 50 odd SAABs for 1700 available seats
Where as QF/JQ
A330 200 4698 seats
A330 300 2970 seats
A380 800 5640 seats
737 800 13000 odd seats
Plus maybe 3000 in 747s
JQ
58 odd A320/321 10500
11 787 8 3600
+ QLink Network and NJS say another 10000
Total carrying capacity around 54,000
So being over 30 x larger by carrying capacity REX pro-rata (even on $2million p/a) would have paid over $360million verses QF/JQs $253million
Gotta compare apples with apples
Or
For 5 out of 6 years REX did pay more than QF/JQ as QF/JQ paid no corporate tax what so ever
Can we do the same but with government handouts over covid?
