It would make a lot of sense for
VB to acquire Rex, and run all E-jets and turboprops under the Rex AOC. Fewer people would leave and there would be a more interesting career path for the Rex crews.
At the same time it would make some sense to get some of the Rex management into
VB. They may not be the most popular guys with the crews, but they sure have made a difference in the survival, growth and profitability of Rex.
