REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
The Singaporeans could just get dual citizenship, problem solved
"market dynamics are much unknown in a few years"
When things look their worst is the time to plan to invest and grow
A large investment from QR could see ZL or VA rapidly expand especially to the ME in their own colours with QR supplied metal

The day I see a Rex 777 in Doha is the same day I’ll ask my doc to get my head checked.

They are laughable.

To be fair QF JQ and VA will be reducing flights now or shortly as well as demand has come off the boil and we know there is a pilot shortage
• Sydney-Albury Bonza-MCY and OOL on 737s would have taken away some traffic here
• Sydney-Coffs Harbour Launched against QF and were getting fair loads could easily drop 1 daily
• Sydney-Griffith-Narrandera tagged QF also on Griffith route
• Sydney-Orange Likely result of QF seat dumping on marginal route
• Sydney-Parkes Likely was over serviced anyway
• Sydney-Port Macquarie Launched against QF and were getting fair loads could easily drop 1 daily plus Bonza 3 weekly to MEL would have some impact
• Sydney-Armidale Needed to be more than once daily or dropped anyway
Moving forward
As I said earlier, REX is transitioning from regional only to more of a mainline carrier with a regional feed and the above reductions somewhat reflect this
Even SAABs are overkill on many REX regional routes and would be better served by the likes of Pelican
That said, even Pelican could not make Bathurst work with a 19 seat bird
Likely to see Q400s enter the fleet over the next few years replacing SAABs and less frequencies and other destinations handed to Pelican, pity they don't do some kind of deal with Pelican though as they have ties with VA

It’s quite telling that even sign on bonuses and advertising for pilots overseas through crewing companies (Rishworth) isn’t enough to keep the show on the road.
OK, but they don't own them- their problem is people leaving. That's not how slavery works...

So the 33 seater 340 is overkill on many routes and the solution is to go to a 70+ seater. And the plan for the transition to mainline with regional feed is to eviscerate regional. Sounds like it's all coming together nicely.

A few Q400s vying against the encumbent QLink aircraft will not get sufficient patronage, and the operational cost will be well above QLink for the smaller fleet.
From an outside perspective Rex has lost the plot, completely. Even to the point they have still not even tried to engage the pilot group to retain numbers, which is mind blowing to think they are just sitting on their hands trying to recruit themselves out of this, when there are no experienced pilots to recruit. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but it almost seems they will just sit back and take it while they get 'pillaged' to death.

Rex have not engaged the pilot group
Rex are our own worst enemy. Stop blaming QF for our problems!! Just compete. Ask the hard questions. Why are pilots leaving. Give us a reason to stay. Give us some career progression.
Out last EBA negotiations ended with PIA. Why are they so combative??
I have an active EOI to move across to the 73 operation. I’m a Saab Captain and have been jumped for a 73 slot by FOUR CPL holding FO’s….. Nice guys, but give me a break. Rewarding guys for not being able to get their subjects competed, WTF…..
Ask me again why are guys looking elsewhere???
ITS NOT THAT HARD!!!!!
