Rex would be wise to introduce a hand baggage only fare, like Virgin did. Melbourne to Sydney is heavily skewed carry on.
I don't think that would be on the cards, as Rex is marketing the added extras like bags included and tea/coffee and a snack included.

The problem that Rex has always had is marketing, full stop... the product is great, just they have always sucked at letting people know they exist. That's the problem when you see things like crew and advertising as waste of money.

And yes, sitting down the back of a 737 is the same for a passenger in virtually any of them, just some of the older ones are looking a bit ratty at the moment.
