Considering the almost complete destruction of the business at the hands of the previous management, sorry the current and now future management, to say this thing will be an uphill battle is probably somewhat of an understatement.
Don’t be surprised if Air T are soon back to the Government, and the Australian taxpayer, holding the hand out for more and more cash just to keep this thing afloat.
Agreed. Quite simply.....REX haven't planned for the future and its caught up. You'd think in the mid to late 2000s even up to 2010 or up to 2015 Rex might have thought to themselves "We should start thinking about life after the Saabs".
