For once, a positive aviation accomplishment;
There has been a flurry of activity around Queensland in the past fortnight with REX winning the TMR contract. They have been negotiating parking spots and terminal space at numerous airports, conducting proving and trial flights, and shipping container loads of GSE around the QLD network. They are taking the contract seriously and working very hard to set up a reliable service for Queensland. They are picking up additional staff including pilots, and have been acting like aviation professionals throughout the entire process. In fact they are doing such a good job (considering they don't officially start the contracts until January 1) that a Government source told me that they wished REX had been given the contract 5 years ago!
Good work boys and girls
