Oracle.Thank you so much for your input,your posts make very interesting
reading for someone like myself who,as only a student pilot ,has little knowledge of the economics of rpt routes.
To answer your question,I returned on the afternoon service out of Melbourne and I would estimate the aircraft was about three quarters full,
but being a Friday afternoon service I would have expected it to be even busier.If Rex can make a profit with these sorts of pax numbers why does it appear that they are having trouble retaining their pilots?Is it just poor
employment conditions?
Thanks again for your help.
