Thats the problem with employing disgraced politicians - eventually they run out of other peoples money.

They moved from Ni-Cad to lead acid batteries a few years ago. Those limits no longer apply with the now lead acid installation as there is no thermal runway risk.
Thank you for those clarifications.

​​​​​​​Just by the bye, the Dash-8s and ATRs would have to have similar temperature limits wouldn't they?

“The ignition system overheats in the hot conditions and they’re often stuck on the tarmac for half an hour, waiting for the battery to cool down.”. - Is that really an issue with the 340s?
It’s like “ Deja vu”, back in about 2002 maybe, I was flying “Big Hat Bob” around NW QLD and Gulf country and he was spouting the virtues of Saab 340’s in the outback versus the J32. He has a long standing relationship with one of the SkyTrans directors.

Any truth that Rex have recently interviewed for flight attendant positions in Brisbane with a start date of August 9?

Last month Rex had this, let's just call it 'optimistic', schedule for ex-BNE

ZL209 MEL 0520
ZL309 SYD 0930
ZL227 MEL 1020
ZL329 SYD 1130
ZL339 SYD 1430
ZL239 MEL 1540
ZL349 SYD 1630
ZL267 MEL 1720
ZL367 SYD 1830
ZL387 SYD 1930
ZL291 MEL 2050

It was meant to start the WC 23 August.

They have now just slid that entire schedule to the right by another month to notionally start WC 20 September.


Darryl Kerrigan would probably have a view on this.

Much the same as

“Oh look, it’s John “I’ve only whinged a few times every month this year, but now I’m back with another negative press release about how hard done by Rex are and how much we hate Qantas”

Rex Appoints Legal Team to Pursue Legal Remedies for Qantas Anti Competitive Behaviour

02 August 2021

Rex today announced the appointment of market-leading litigation law firm Clayton Utz to pursue all legal remedies in response to Qantas' predatory and anti-competitive behaviour. Mr Fred Prickett will be leading the Clayton Utz litigation team, joined by Rex’s other competition advisors Ms Rachel Trindade and former Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Commissioner Dr Rhonda Smith. Rex’s legal team will explore all legal avenues to stop Qantas from abusing its market position in order to push its competitors out.

What exactly do they want? Qantas you may not increase your schedule for the upcoming school holidays because Rex needs to make money.

Jetstar how dare you put 787s on domestic keep them parked up in the sand burning cash and keeping your employees grounded.

Virgin you cannot put your MAX10 into Sydney as your taking away our passengers and diluting our margins. Fark sake.

“pursue all legal remedies”

sounds like clutching at straws to me.

Attacking Qantas is a pillar of Rex’s marketing strategy to gain brand awareness. It is sad, but here we are. Story 1…Rex announce publicly that they might sue Qantas. Story 2…Rex announce they have hired lawyers to explore options.

There is not much to see here. A few apologists of Sharp and his strategies. A muted Qantas response representative of its significance.

In other news, Clayton Utz lawyer Fred Prickett was today seen ordering a new yacht, while Rachel Trindade and Rhonda Smith were spotted browsing at a Ferrari dealership.

Seriously, Rex is burning money at both ends here, one in the B737 jet operations and the other in this pointless battle with Qantas. Can't wait to see Rex's FY21 report and watch John Sharp blame everyone but the Kardashians for Rex nosediving into a loss of many millions of dollars.
