My Understanding is that was across the entire Jet Network.

What have they built that the other 3 airlines don't already have operating on a much larger scale? There is absolutely nothing unique about REX's jet offering apart from cheap prices which only reinforces the fear that they are going broke.

All pilots need to remember this next time it is EBA negotiation. The mantra from the top has always been airlines are price sensitive, people are only interested in paying the lowest fare and that's why we can't give you a payrise. If REX are the lowest fare and are not filling seats that will indicate something about the price sensitivity of the market.

It tells us that price sensitivity curve also interacts with risk sensitivity; that is all. It's similar to saying if I offered a $5 fare on SYD-MEL but it was on an unmaintained 50 year old 727, would anyone buy a seat? Virtually non-existent marketing except doomsday whinging from JS doesn't help.

If you look at his whinging around ‘capacity dumping’ and look at the pre COVID schedules of the carriers, the only mob capacity dumping is Rex.

Anyways, the extra capacity or this so called dumping around the place is all on runs Rex has no life on.

They have no case. What’s the ACCC going to say to Jetstar. No you can’t use your 788s on domestic cause Rexy has started ops.. keep them in the desert thanks burning cash...

Sure let’s just get everyone keeping these machines parked up all over the joint so this little country battler mob can make some inroads. Fark off.

So I’ll call it - Rex got NFI in this game.

VA is also putting on numerous $39 fares throughout the week. It would appear Jayne wants to close out the match.

I have said this before.... when the taxi fare to the airport is more than the flight ticket .. something is very wrong.

So 8x39 = $312 revenue on a 90 minute sector.


Ouch!

Too true. There will be lots of excuses being dreamed up as we speak.

It looks like REX is making the $39 fare available on all MEL-SYD flights through to 28 August.
It'll be interesting to see how serious Virgin/Jetstar will be in matching that amount for that length of time.
Bloodbath.

Will not be a problem for VA or JQ - Rex will be out of here well before then.

Short of a 2001 Essendonesque comeback Rex won't be flying jets come 28 August.

REX would not even be covering their airport fees on their MEL-SYD services currently. The amount of money they must be losing is truly frightening.

With the increasing risk of REX's failure and shutdown, even $39 looks expensive currently unless you are walking up to board the flight straight away
