I thought their Saab 340 services were going not too bad. Their 737 services...the loads haven't been good?
They need to make the hard (and embarrassing) decision to pull the pin on the jet operation.
If they do something about canning the jet op and rapidly then they may be able to salvage themselves by focusing on what has been a reliably profitable regional op.
For good measure they could also hold out the Rex charity hat asking for a massive government handout to save regional Australia from losing their 'vital' air service. The government wouldn't want the headache and fallout from not saving the regional operation because lets face it, it's kind of the only half reliable connection much of regional/remote Australia has to the rest of civilisation.
