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??
Unless you are engaged in a trial that is actively testing the efficacy of blood pressure medication, arguing with idiots is entirely pointless.
People can speculate about the hypothetical possibilities of a theoretical pricing structure for as long as they want. Back in the real world, Rex are losing money. All we need to know is that Rex were reporting profitability for domestic jet ops when load factors were in the mid- to high-80s, and when they fell below that, no more profitability proclamations. Draw your own conclusions.
