Plenty on here bagging them when they were getting good loads with cheap fares saying that it's not about bums on seats, it's about revenue
REX has been doing regional for decades with low L/Fs
BTW a quick look at QF shows a mixed bag on the triangle of reasonable loads, then full loads preceded by empty flights, obviously cancelling flights, then filling up the next one or 2
VA on the other hand just have mediocre loads outside the peak
Has the bubble burst on pent up demand ?
Not much revenue at the moment with $70 fares Syd-Mel midweek
