QANTAS, it gets better.
I don't doubt this for a second
But it's what happens when they fly on REX that matters and from what I am hearing, plenty have tried REX and have liked what they tasted
REX just needs more jets in the air
QF be warned, the days of the duopoly are coming to a conclusion

. Hasn’t worked for anyone else trying to take them on, I highly doubt Rex are going to be the ones that rock the ship. 
In any case if they are still expanding next year I would hazard a guess there will be a big blow up over slot access into Sydney especially during peak times. In the end I think QF and VA will be forced to cede slots for competitive purposes, more likely QF as somebody will just argue for them to use bigger planes less frequently.

Plus there is the issue of aircraft utilisation etc etc. A 737 can be turned around in 30 minutes. An A330 can’t.
If you are saying that they are only flying around the same that they were prior to their jet ops, those numbers simply don't equate as REX has been growing passenger numbers significantly this year
If you are saying that passengers are re-booking then yes, I agree
Regarding their pricing, please find examples of $10 tickets for me.....
Finally REX have added plenty of new daily's on the triangle since MFM arrived, all with good load factors, so they must still have new blood filling these seats
At absolute worst, REX is at lease as good as QF/JQ and from all reports doing better from a customers point of view, aside from the 1 cent in the dollar FFPs and frequencies I can't see any other reason punters would choose QF/JQ
So I'll pose 2 questions to all
If you were a passenger who would you choose to fly?
From a passengers perspective, are there any negatives regarding flying with REX jet?

Let's hose this bullsh!t down that Rex have added flights to their schedule since the arrival of their seventh jet. They may have upped their flights temporarily but this week (in a month that is traditionally one of the busiest of the year) they are running the same 102 flights Mon-Fri BNE-SYD-MEL that they ran in late August when they only had six aircraft.

For long-suffering Qantas customers this raises the spectre of further chaos over the Christmas travel season. The airline is already struggling to deliver capacity on the most lucrative routes, desperately recruiting pilots, pulling training pilots out of retirement and engaged in an escalating industrial dispute with its dramatically constrained engineering division. It is even mulling leasing foreign aircraft and pilots to fill its capacity problems inflicted by management decisions.
Questions were put to Qantas public relations division for this story. As yet, no response has been forthcoming.
The unscheduled maintenance for the A380s – which is 50 days for each aircraft – and that will be conducted with a team from Airbus, threatens to exacerbate capacity constraints in Qantas international. Its post-Covid plans have already been stymied by the delayed delivery of new Boeing 787’s and the airline’s customers may find themselves flying on foreign owned and crewed 787s over Christmas, something insiders describe as “a new low” under Joyce’s management.

which aircraft would these hero pilots fly Active? The grounded A380’s or the undelivered 787’s?
you’re an idiot. Get a life.
ok clown, prove me wrong. Heard a heap of experienced guys joined the other day as S/Os. 20yr Captains flying all over the World. Where have you flown and for how long? Step up hero, LHR, LAX, JFK, SIN, CGK, BOM, DEL, NRT, FCO, JNB, SFO, ya World travelled idiot!
Stick to your overseas “Commander” role buddy, we don’t need you here

Plenty of experienced wide body FOs capable of upgrade at QF too. Seems this is an airframe issue - not a lack of crew issue.
The public only care about the price of the airfare, they don’t give two ****s if it’s an astronaut or a 200 hour body driving the thing.
Soooooo what you’re trying to say, correct me, is you’re part of the elite overseas pilot ranks who has flown to a million airports with your four stripes, and everyone back home needs to p!ss off outta the way and make room for you, cause you are top dogs and we are just lousy little domestic pilots?
Just remember you go overseas, don’t expect to be able to come back. That’s the reality. That’s why I never did it. My employer does not hire expats. Recruitment told me they are just more trouble to deal with vs your local body. I know cause we hired d!cks like you in the past who just create divisions with the know it all attitude.

It is the truth. I worked in recruitment in my previous operator. We hired expats previously and had problems. Management said they didn't want anymore problems, what they really meant is they don't want anymore people who have an agenda when they walk in. My current outfit wont hire expats as they prefer locals from a prop who generally hang around. I have many many mates overseas like you, sandpit and what not, who are trying to come back, but the options are very limited. Now, not everyone is a d!ck that went overseas, but some are, and cause problems for the rest.
You are better off retiring at the expat job, buying a boat here or up in Asia somewhere for the weekends, vs trying to get back here for job that will likely pay half or less for the remainder of your career, and end up with little cash at the end and no boat! I mean I think I would prefer finishing up early on the 777/380/350 with plenty of cash, then spending the last 10 years slogging it out in some Alliance or Network gig just to get home.

I’d love to know what ActiveLooker’s obsession is about having all these “experienced” Captains who are overseas, come back and take the jobs of local pilots. What benefit does that provide Active? And did you get rejected recently from an application to try and come home?

That’s not what he wants though Poppa. He wants a QF command, because he believes that his 20 years is superior to all others.
The guy can’t even read. He is the worst kind of imbecile. He probably drives the crew bus.
