Is this seriously a realistic outcome?
The only reason I can see it being so is that while it would be possible for other regional carriers to take on all (well most) of Rex's regional routes, from the government's point of view this may be in the 'too messy' basket and it would just be easier for them to throw money at Rex and ensure that a Rex 2.0 becomes a reality.
Would such talks actually be going on anywhere at the moment or are they still actually hoping for a commercial buyer?
If 2.0 does become a reality, I'd be fascinated to see if the 30 odd Saabs currently laying around with missing organs will all be returned to flying condition.
