Sorry MickG and PoppaJo but you just can't argue with the numbers.....
No one is arguing with the numbers. I've been one of the proponents of focusing on the numbers rather than just making stuff up as you go along. And, as I noted last month, the Flight Centre hook up seems to be having quite a positive outcome for Rex. No one would be disputing that this has been a good week so far for Rex.
Separately, and falling into the same pattern of telling you something that you've been told before, you cannot accurately infer what the true Y/J spilt is from the seat plan data. As a couple of contributors have noted, Rex are pursuing a practice of routinely upgrading punters from Y to J meaning that the Y numbers are likely understated. You're best sticking to total pax numbers.
And why would you be quoting "outbound" numbers?! Outbound from where? Sydney? Melbourne?
Looking at the network in total, yesterday Rex's jet ops managed an aggregate load factor of 82.6 percent over their 28 flights for the day. Last Thursday, one of their weakest for the past four weeks, they managed only 76.4 percent.
