Don’t forget the only thing that matters to the ‘management’ at qantas is money in their own pockets. If they increase money in their pockets by continuing to sell sim time to Rex, then that’s what they’ll do, regardless of any animosity between the two businesses.
Update was sent to crew today - good process. Union advised crew to cease Tankering Ban immediately.
The cobham 146 Freighters do operate on behalf of Qantas Freight for Aus post. It will be interesting to see if Qantas renew this contract once under Rex ownership. I feel as though QF freight won’t have a choice, given these are the only aircraft allowed a long term exemption for the Sydney curfew.

Numbers have not fallen away. Yet.
However they are not really flying many flights at the moment, ie into Gold Coast only two flights a day. Between the same two cities Virgin has 20. Even Tiger was about 8 a day.

Your math is flawed
The average of the 2 x 737 flights listed is 151.5
The third flight was Coffs to SYD (SAAB)
Further
REX's 737s are not 180 seats, try 174
So closer to 88% on the 2 mentioned flights
27 out of 34 for the SAAB 80%
I realize that these are just 3 flights however, I am yet to see any posted figures here or anywhere else, just random guesses here and there

Actually my math is pretty good however i need to make my self read things properly.
So point taken re the third flight being a SAAB.
But I still stand by my comment and that is when an airline like REX operate relatively few flights per day it only takes a couple of low loads to bring down
the averages for the rest of the fights to below break even and you can't make money like that. It appears their loads over the holiday period have been ok
however Poppajo's data seem to show that overall the loads aren't great.
Fly safe and play hard.
