Pretty crowded SAAB if 43 people evacuated. Seems like an easy typo, but given the medias previous form maybe just trying to make it more dramatic than it was.

“I was sitting there enjoying the pre-flight safety talk and a bit of smoke came out of one of the motors, it didn’t look exactly normal,” passenger Ryan Morris told Sunrise.
“The pilot came out in a bit of a rush and we got told to evacuate.
“I was a little bit stressful, but they did a great job getting everybody out one piece, it was great.
Where do they find these animated passengers?

Well, I've had a total knee replacement, so a jump from that height would be pretty serious for me. In fact, to have a random sample of 34 people jump from that height with none suffering injury is better than I would have thought statistically likely. Well done.

They raised airfares. Now priced above Virgin and on par with Qantas. I don’t think that is a wise move for a number of reasons. I recall Sharpie being very vocal about pricing his business like Jetstar, with Qantas service. Now they are trying to do the latter with pricing also.
Secondly OOL is seriously underperforming, to the point that they might as well exit the market. Serious issues at hand if your only pulling 5-20 bodies per flight, and Virgin is filling a whopping 14 flights a day consistently. Virgin are currently the biggest player out of the Gold Coast to Melbourne and Sydney.

You can tell when the REX 737 flights are because Virgin will suddenly have a very cheap fare compared to the rest of the day. I was going to fly REX but backed off when none of the seats was occupied.

And a not quite so 'emergency' similar event in Roma….
Brisbane Times
In a similar incident in south-west Queensland on Wednesday, passengers on board a flight from Roma Airport to Brisbane were told to disembark after smoke was spotted coming out of the plane’s left engine.

My point being that not everything gets investigated at any airline. The ZRK issue is now on ATSB page however.
