I would very much doubt that REX will be sold any time soon, especially in their transition stage
Likely they will see how things go with their jet ops
There is something to be said for selling "potential" that is a strong regional network and a promising mainline operation along with a newly acquired FIFO operation
Kim and co would likely only take the money and run for a highly overpriced bid at this point
Their minds would be looking at cashing in with a much larger entity to sell, perhaps north of 30 jets on mainline and an expanded FIFO operation IMO
And you have to ask who would buy them with QF/JQ on the attack and a track record of doing the same to new entrants, get past this hurdle and gain significant market share and strength, then you have something valuable to sell
Who would buy them ?
VA ? they would be more inclined to launch regional with Link or Pelican, would it be worth the coin to eliminate a competitor, just to have another one start up a year later ?
QF/JQ ? perhaps as they are yet to bludgeon REX into submission, however the ACCC may object to 90% of regional routes being held y the one entity
QQ ? can't see it
Can't really see any one else being interested
