Dam, I was hoping for something like Braniff the Calder colours DC-8, Ecuatoriana B720, AeroCondor Colombia B720, AeroPeru DC-8
The 70s was a period where they splashed a lot of colour on aircraft not like today with a majority of pure white fuselages.

Tickets for Rex’s Melbourne-Sydney return services go on sale in early December, at www.rex.com.au.
Yes the mobile site is poor. The desktop view is ok but what with the banner showing unknown awards from 10 years ago?
It's like the fish and chip shop that still has newspapers clippings in the window from it's "Best local restaurant 1982" award.

Rex has announced it will add Brisbane to its Boeing 737 capital city network by Easter, which means in the first week of April: https://www.executivetraveller.com/n...bourne-flights

up to 30, 40 or more jets by end of 2022, maybe
story in executive traveller today
"By the end of 2022... Rex’s ambition is to be a sizeable domestic airline operator with a fleet of 30 or maybe 40, maybe even more narrow-bodied single-aisle aircraft operating on the domestic network around Australia," Rex Deputy Chairman John Sharp elaborated.
Might be just stirring the pot.

Tiger said 30 Aircraft by 2011 too.
Once the lease fees creep up after the first few years fuel stabilises, like Tiger, along with the issues of a small fleet, the place falls apart.
The market here is relatively flat, the Tiger market share of a dozen aircraft will obviously be up for grabs, but anything above a dozen sounds risky.

Why would lease fees creep up ? If they are smart, they would lock in long cheap leases. What other choice do aircraft owners have ?
Wonder if they are hedging any fuel ? Of course that costs money, but can save a lot of money too. Southwest were huge on hedging fuel & it was said all their profits one year recently, were from hedging fuel.
this is NOT tiger/jetstar. Rex already have existing customer base & 50 plus aircraft. Virgin/Qantas will no longer get ANY rex regional passengers connecting to trunk routes.

Do you really think QF, JQ and VA are going to let this happen. This market will always be a duopoly! QF won’t give up 70% market share and Bain need a duopoly to sell VA for max $$ in 4 years. Ground and pound.....poor Rex. All new hires at Rex are not eligible for job keeper, how has Mr Sharp got around this?

"Damn, I was hoping for something like Braniff the Calder colours ..."How about this (the attachment; pasteing photos is an art I do not possess)?
The photo is of a postcard given to me by my mother after a trip to the USA back in the late 70s.
It pays to be a magpie hoarder; this is the first time in 44 years the postcard has seen the light of day.

So Rex now says it will offer business class on its B737s, will be almost full service and better than Virgin but as cheap as Jetstar, and if the triangle launch with nine daily SYD-MEL return flights at launch. And if the triangle goes well it wants to end up with 30-40 B737s covering all capital cities: https://www.executivetraveller.com/n...hts-nationwide
Whatever they're smoking, I'll have some!

The "parsley" on qantas is very VERY expensive & do you necessarily want that for a 1 hour flight ?
