Over 3 hours late into Merimbula yesterday. I wasted a day and $391.22 airfare when I foolishly planned and booked a same day return. In future I will have to plan at least one overnight into any Rex trip and make sure any appointments I make are subject to a Rex reliability clause. They seem to encourage purchase of flight cancellation insurance when you book, don't know if a mere 3 or 4 hour delay would be covered. I was wondering if it is crew shortage or mechanical or just poor loads, there seemed to be quite a few 340's sitting around. Could be that some of their cadets have trouble converting UTC to local time. |
I've learned never to book a connecting flight within hours of my Rex leg arrival time.

From what I hear they're in the same boat as Qlink and others - struggling to crew planes. Their biggest problem is lack of Captains as a lot are continuing to move up the chain to Virgin/JQ/QF - a lot going through upgrade training at the moment so fingers crossed these issues become less frequent. Regional RPT is never perfect. Im a frequent regional flyer and I suppose I've been through enough interruptions (not just rex) to plan with plenty of buffer either side of any flight!

yeah dont fly Rex - they're the ONLY airline who are late, or cancel flights or whatever. All the rest have 100% OTP.

HighFives,
I used to work for QantasLink and they would have never treated their passengers that way despite the potential problems that any airline can run in to. |
