Anyone who was in the business last year knows QLink Dash-8s were having a horror run with reliability. Rex wasn't far behind, but still fared better. Both QLInk and Rex are suffering the same issues, punching out new routes without the fleet spares to back it up. You could probably say all the airlines are having the same issues with reliability, as all of them have had horror cancellation rates in 2022, except probably Rex, which kept it fairly low with its flexibility.
You are correct 43"
