Rex from the start ran a dozen plus flights a day with Sharpie telling the media they are full and Qantas better watch out, all you pilots get paid too much blah blah blah, meanwhile the truth exposed was single digits loads daily. That’s why they got called out on here, the comments from both Chairs in that joint was a disgrace. Some people got quite defensive when those numbers got called out, and repeatedly tried to shut those comments down, strange, as numbers are numbers. We also had members telling the rest of the group, that we should have our conditions chopped and follow the lead re Rex and Virgin. They know who they are, terrible behaviour.
Bonza has one flight a day, or 0.12% daily capacity within the market, until they get a dozen plus a day way too early to say. Even the Bonza boss said publicly, they will know pretty quick if the model is or isn’t going to work. As we have seen in the UK and US with these models, they generally operate to a sessional schedule across the year, likely where many of these routes here will end up also, and the owner has already said that up front if some markets don’t work.
