[Quote]"REX could be actively engaged in manipulating the flight frequencies on certain city pairs. Cancelling flights, but still moving the same number of passengers.

By blaming the "pilot shortage", they possibly increase the load factors on some routes (namely the underperforming ones..). By cutting out flights they save variable costs, but still get roughly the same income.., because the passengers on these cancelled flights are moved to earlier / later connections."[Quote]
