What - better security in Rexjet or Bonza....or Virgin MK2??
With the border delays I'm sure Bain will require a lot more lipstick before the pig can go to market.
Rex plans to start the 73 operation up again next month, yet they’re all taped up in storage. All these 73s will need maintenance and a quick circuit with out passengers before revenue flights. They don’t seem to be in a rush.
I actually don’t think it would be unreasonable for Rex next year to ‘rest’ it’s 737 operation if crude starts to head well north of $100, especially if your flying empty.

Australia has sure became a aviation 'battleground' for the Private Equity Firms. the Qantas/Jetstar group doesn't have too much to worry about, even if the PE firms behind their 3 rivals decide to escalate a fare war even on niche routes in Bonza's case.
Out of 777 (Bonza), PAG (RexJet) and Bain (Virgin): who has the deeper pockets to survive.

Not-so-Sharp grabbed himself a little spot on the Box yesterday with that fool Koche. His latest ploy, which is an understandable move, is to offer 100% refunds and guaranteed peak fares. The problem being, they really offer nothing else because Virgin and Qantas offer lounges, mileage points and other tidbits that exceed anything REX offers.
By the way John, please get a haircut. You looked like a 60 year old washed up porn star.

REXjet is great!
It’s virtually the same price to fly a confirmed seat on Rex as it is to fly non confirmed staff travel on Qantas.
QF upping their staff travel prices is handing Rex a heap of extra passengers. Hopefully they hang around!

If true, flying paying pax for the same $$ as staff travel isn’t really conducive to “hanging around”.
I know of a people (non-aviation) who utilise this tactic. They have no idea that Rex is ‘full-service’ because of their price point, they just assumed Rex is another LCC. That’s another problem they face; a business’ price should match its product proposition.
Their saabs are yet to increase in the schedule. Too busy claiming that sweet government dough.
I don't work there but I have a few good friends that do. The week of the 15th it's progressively picking up. Everyone's best mate nifty mentioned to the cohort that Rex's strength is ramping up faster than Qlink can. Qlink has already started ramping up and it's eating into their routes which will most definitely mess with their demand.
We’re long overdue for a whinge.
What do you reckon, I give it until the end of next week before Sharp (and his amazing management team) hits the media moaning about how hard done by Rex are and how they’re here to save the world but big bad Qantas are being meanies?
