REX would have revenue of an extra $400 on 60% @ $110 verses 80% @ $80
They would also save plenty on screening, airport passenger charges, meals, fuel
Wow, what a strategy!! Think how much they'd make if they didn't carry anyone!
REX has been doing regional for decades with low L/Fs
In QLD at least those routes have been subsidised by the Govt. They get paid even if there's no one on it............Wait, maybe that's the plan for the jets??
