Small low cost carriers, startup or not, are prone to strategy, network, base, employee changes at very short notice. It could be as simple as the local council cutting off subsidies or raising fees at a said base, it’s then closed and families are once again pushed to the wall, been there done that. Fuel jumps, generally people are laid off, fleets cut, aircraft re-leased to other parts of the world. You only need to look at how many employees Tiger pissed off over the years by chopping and changing every 5 mins.
Alliance going anywhere. Rex isn’t likely going anywhere, however likely a bit of a circus in the medium term. Unknown what that place will look like in 5 years.
Virgin’s 737 bases are likely the most ‘safe’ however another circus also.
