What would happened to the economy if JK was not available, and unemployment at northwards of 20%?
I suggest you take your whining to the Murdoch press editorials...

Looks like REX is making a move to pick up some of Virgin's leased B737s which the airline no longer needs, see https://www.executivetraveller.com/n...ed-boeing-737s
I don't suppose that Rex could keep Virgin's seats, in fact they'd probably want to replace them and maybe even extend the 3-3 economy rows through to the former business class cabin and make this an NZ-style premium section with an empty seat in the middle.

Rex's 73s for 1 buck then call it Tiger. I'm just thinking circles.

The external paint job would be another matter.
Rex becomes the new virgin (at least route network), link (rebranded corporate) becomes the new Rex backfill? Alliance keeps doing their thing and Hoovers up what’s left and profitable for them?

It could be pointed out that at least some of the people here whinging about REX getting a taxpayer handout are probably themselves getting a tax payer handout in the form of jobkeeper. Now I could ask, since I'm still working and paying tax, why should I be supporting you sitting at home doing nothing. I could say that.........maybe I will
From the original ASX release...
"The Board has confirmed 1 March 2021 as the targeted start date for domestic operations, subject to fund availability and regulatory approval."
It will take that long to vary the AOC, train, paint, and prove.

Just interesting - one poster postulates that the cost to transition pilots says REX won't upgrade existing crew.
Another poster assumes a done deal that REX WOULD transition existing crew.
Being diametrically opposed only one position can be correct.
Of course if VA2 do get up is there a market for someone like REXJET - or are they just covering the "what if/maybe...." position?
If VA2 doesn't eventuate....anyone's guess for Oz aviation.
Cheers

Passengers may see Rex as more reliable rather than punting their money on Phoenix rising.

Not saying it is a good thing.
Neither saying it should happen.
It just seems as though it is becoming more common (pre-covid that is). Might just be a European thing that is.

August 15th today! Rex even begun the process for getting a jet operation up and running CASA, crew C&T etc? mission launch was March 2021 time is fast running out and where are they going with these jets? ex SY to WG or Broken Hill. unless they plan on operating in QLD until a vaccine is found and the citizens are inoculated so the borders can now be opened.
What did you write this then?
