Rex Expanding Into Jets

[neville_nobody]

That was because REX kick up a stink and played the whole 'country card' saying that FMS doesn't work for Regional Operations, the days are shorter etc etc.

Will be hard to try that on working 12 hours a day in a 737 or 320 but I am sure they will try!!

Thank you Para, the regulatory process is clear cut, the political process prompting isn't!

My bet is still ANZ into the market. They have a good product and friendly staff who deliver a consistent standard. They would be a serious competitor for Qantas not a revamped VA.

You shouldn’t make bets. The last time you bet someone was when you were plane spotting at Brisbane airport and you made a bet that a 747-400 was on short finals and it turned out to be a Bell 505 JetRanger!!! Sucks to be you.....

[ozbiggles]

Oh Para
5,4,3,2....

and for Machy Rex, Rex, Rex ,Rex

hahahaha! !

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Why didn’t you say that in the first place?

Because I though it was patently obvious. I forgot for a second I was having a battle of wits with someone who is only half-armed.

[Section28- BE]

Ex Para-

'that a 747-400 was on short finals and it turned out to be a Bell 505 JetRanger!!!'

Reckon, the 'Problem' right there was/is the Allison C-20 engine contained therein......

now known as the Rolls-Royce M250, (US military designations T63 and T703)

- Bull-****e, Rolls did 'not' make it!!!! and it does have years on 'it'.......

ex Wikipedia:

Design and Development-
In 1958, the Detroit Diesel Allison division of General Motors was chosen by the US Army to develop a new light turbine engine.........

Takes along time for 'it', to arrive and 'it' wont lift/do much at All for you, if 'one' does the temp/pressure density- performance on it, out here.......

Anyhoo- best go now...... (ohh- there is the C-30 in the LongRanger, but Not relevant to the point/discussion....)

Ta/Rgds all

Add to that a disastrous track record of previous attempts, and thier own problems at home. Wont happen.

[Pundit]

Certainly true re previous attempts, but let's see.

Because Jacinda locked down so quickly, NZ are already fully open and publicly running at 33% of our international market and almost 50% of our domestic market by next week.

They have cut costs and are almost making money already. I think they’re well placed to enter the AU market.

Ansett was a sinking ship before NZ got involved. Different management and different agenda now.

That would be roundly contradicted by the three consecutive years of AN profits before NZ took complete control.

[ozbiggles]

33% percent of your international network with what load factor and how much government backing to fly to get medical supplies and cargo?
So the guard police don’t come out, I don’t think we will see Rex and AirNZ mixing it up in Oz anytime soon

[Lookleft]

Ansett certainly was floundering before ANZ took over the second parcel of shares but it was definitely ANZ that scuttled it. For a perfect example of financial stupidity then look no further than ANZ buying 50 % when they were told they couldn’t afford it.

Cool- "what MickG" did, so 'very' gently/eloquently endeavor to place in front of 'you'.............

???What is this guy even talking about???

Anyway back onto the topic Section28- BE , NZ has the money or loan ability to invest into Rex, and it could be safe way to get into the Australian market right now.

Potentially unlikely. But possible. Anything is possible right now.
