rex Celebrating 20 Years
To clear up some confusion above.
The data pulled from the GDS only gives access to confirmed seats. Those not confirmed won’t appear. The data is way too patchy to confirm numbers until the flight has closed, it varies across all carriers and really depends on the systems they use. Those Virgin Brisbane numbers above are not accurate, they will likely depart with 90-100%. The Virgin data is still debatable post departure, gets messy with a whole heap of complex other parts around seat blocking and awards, GDS would often under read.
Rex figures are concrete once a flight has closed only, very basic carrier with very basic systems which is why you can get a accurate reading post departure. Anything prior your wasting your time reading into anything.

This argument is like watching two billionaires argue over 2 cents. Its irrelevant how many seats are filled if they have the funds to continue. Arguing over this stuff sounds more like management trolls trying to get the one up for some reason.

While I have always had concerns about the whole Sharp/ Rex relationship with government and have expressed my further concerns about the viability of the 737 ops, I would have to say that in my view they are not doing too bad. It would seem to have made sense to have limited aircraft and ops while the airports and staffing issues play out. (Not sure this was part of the great master plan though).
I am surprised at the loads they are carrying and would think they are in front of where they hoped to be. That said the other airlines have been too busy dealing with all the post Covid issues that have been presented to them to turn their full attention to Rex. That may yet come! While I haven''t flown on them, those I have spoken to that have, had nothing but good things to say as opposed to a lot of negative comments on the others.
Time will tell!

Last week jet ops despatched 194 flights. Aggregate load factor for the week was 64 percent (SYD-MEL was 61.8 percent). Only 94 flights achieved 70+ percent loads. They almost certainly lost money for four days of the week, and made some money Friday through Sunday for a net loss for the week.
Notably, they operate fewer flights on two of the days they're making money. That raises the question as to where a 17 percent increase in capacity is going to fit into the picture.
The Flight Centre hook up seems to be having quite a positive outcome. Beyond that, to what extent they're currently pulling a Bradbury remains to be seen.
Time, as you have noted, will tell.
Funny how the likes of Mick and Poppa were doing cartwheels when they were posting on here about loads in single digits or implying that REX were better deploying SAABs onto the triangle as REX would not be able to even fill those
Now we have Mick posting weekly load average of 61.8% and is still laying the boot in
Growth is growth Mick.....
Do you not understand that as the punters try REX they are liking what they are being delivered, this generates repeat business, mainly from infrequent flyers, the good service REX is providing won't provide immediate load increases as many of these flyers won't re-book for 6 months to perhaps a couple of years
This is good solid and sustained growth through a good product at a reasonable price
I have yet to see a negative report on ZL for their jet services and all the trip reports are positive and an awful lot of them have the word surprising mentioned
It's fairly obvious that no matter what the loads, what the fleet size, what their on time performance is or how much they pay their staff, Mick will still have an axe to grind with REX

And there's the rub isn't it
Pay and conditions, but unfortunately it's the way of the whole world
If it's not REX or Bonza, it'll be the next upstart or QF outsourcing or running sub airlines or VA and Link
There has been a global movement by airlines to cut costs and has been for years and showing no signs of stopping

Not Global at all. You only see it in jurisdictions where employers have the upper hand due to collective bargaining restrictions. Your attention is directed to the US where pilot T & Cs are much better than with Australian carriers, and even they are improving rapidly.

Inflight service gets a good rap, https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/rex
This product review website was on a current affair the other night, proven that business owners pay ppl to leave good 5 star reviews. I would take this with a grain of salt.
