REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
Hypothetical, Rex dream team of lawyers find that QF has done the wrong thing (I don’t believe they have it completion that’s what happens)
Do they take them to court and then what? ACCC are obviously not interested in this story otherwise they would have acted.

Never thought that I would agree with something that John Sharp says:
Mr Sharp criticised state governments for being “trigger happy” and shutting borders too quickly, calling again for a national approach to lockdowns and border closures.
The deputy chair also backed the idea of issuing Australians with vaccine passports to allow fully vaccinated people to travel domestically and attend events such as football games, noting such incentives would probably be needed to hit the government’s target of getting 80 per cent of the population vaccinated in order to end lockdowns and reopen international borders.
Mr Sharp also called on the federal government to modify industrial relations frameworks to allow frontline businesses such as Rex to mandate vaccines for staff, saying it would have a “considerable benefit” and go a long way towards protecting passengers and workers.

Victoria’s approach has clearly trumped NSW’s in the most recent Delta outbreaks.
Immediate lockdowns and ongoing border closures are the management strategy for now. Longer term? Who knows. There doesn’t appear to be much of an appetite from the premiers to actually comply with the four phase plan. The reality of trying to explain to the punters why people are going to die and why that is ok appears to be quelling their enthusiasm somewhat. Kudos to Jodie McVernon for coming out this morning and calling a spade a shovel.
Australia’s political leaders need to start doing the same if they want a way out of this that doesn’t continue to look like the last 18 months - but with businesses actually going broke or net government debt continuing to rise as they try and plug the dyke forever.
Yeah, well fat chance with that. Frydenburg said yesterday that immediate lockdowns are the way of the future for now with costs up to five times greater if states don’t lockdown immediately on discovering community transmission.

A mate said they've issued a notice with intent to stand down and they will be issuing stand down directions in the next few days.

Yes, stand downs confirmed and will be announced end of this week, after Rex today revised its FY21 performance from the break-even forecast in May to an $18m loss.

Given they were already expecting a $15 million loss largely due to the Melboune lockdown, an additional $3 million due to Sydney is quite plausible.

The devil will be in the detail. Last financial year they reported a 19.4M loss. They are now indicating just a 18M loss after all that has gone on and the 737 startup. It could be an 18M loss after a 60M handout. Be interesting to see how this is spun but looking forward to seeing how they try.

Have the 737 crew at Rex been on full pay through all of this?
No matter what happens, Rex will still try and lay some blame on Qantas, along the lines of “honest country airline forced to stand down staff because Qantas is competing on their regional routes while also preventing Rex from expanding into the capital city markets” 🙄

So does anyone think realistically that the 737 operation can seriously continue past the planned first 12 months.? With so much of the Regional flying out of Sydney, they must be bleeding all their reserves quickly.
It could go on for a while. I mean Tiger went for 13 years. Alarm bells starting ringing by 2010 but they kept throwing cash at it. I’ll never understand how it went on for another 10 -They were planning on shutting it.
What is a acceptable level of return for a 10 jet operation? It wouldn’t be much. A couple of million tops?
