REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
Hahahahaha Bonza! If they ever get off the ground and that’s a big if! They can’t even get their timeline right.

I love all these comparisons to Tiger. They were a basket case. Sold for $1 a decade ago to VA who took on the $200 million in debt that they owed. Then operated on the mother’s teat for years, finally barely scrapping a profit just before the disaster of COVID-19, but always with the safety net of the mothership. REX the new tiger, I think not. You may be right SHVC, they might just plod along but they will incur massive debt unless something happens…….like say an airline collapse…..oh wait a minute, didn’t that happen already but they didn’t really collapse…………..
Tiger Australia wasn't that flash either when it was wholly owned and operated by the SQ group. That 'Airways' show also came to mind.
This was prior to SQ group selling TT to VA for $140mil (for the first 50%) and then VA paid $1 for the remaining 50%.

Yep! 15 CEOs in 14 years would do that. Everyone of them a Michael O’Leary wannabe!
Tiger was doing terrific until Virgin forced those heaps of **** 737’s on them and tried to “Virginise” the management.
The one time they did make money they made more money per aeroplane than Virgin did.
Everyone at Virgin hated Tiger, except of course if they could go over and take the commands. Those exact words heard from a Virgin FO.

Yeah ok, maybe that’s probably a bit too strong. But I will still never ever forget that day that FO from Virgin absolutely trashed Tiger, but then in the very same breath, said that if she could come and take a command, then she’d love it. What a disgrace.
There is snakes in every company, been watching that play out pretty much everywhere in this, and a previous industry for the last 40 years. The pandemic has also exposed the worst in some people. I’ve had people in the same base, however on a different fleet type, tell me to my face they are superior due widebody, so I need to stand aside, or give up my command, whilst they take my job. They even all banded together, drew up some sort of plan to present to the company, narrow body pilots please stand aside...you pieces of trash came to mind etc....There has been a new division that had unfortunately been created between certain groups of people in some workplaces.

The golden triangle will now be complete, will be utilising the heck out of 6 airframes!

Struggling to crack 15% on many flights today.
Clearly this isn’t working. I don’t understand expanding the network when flights are largely pulling 10-40 people.

What I find truly amusing is that people are choosing to pay $200+ each way when they could be paying 1/3rd of that at $69. I think marketing may be the main offender here. I have no loyalty to airlines when travelling, to pay 3 times more just to have the same service seems a bit stupid honestly. Or is this a matter of people using up credits so no cheap seats available on the others. It would be crazy stupid if you had some weird idea that paying $200 more for a ticket somehow validated the $10 worth of frequent flyer points you get.
What's the point of achieving a 95% seat factor if you’re not making money? Seat factor is nothing more than an indicator of how many seats were occupied.
