REX to transition to ATRs, start domestic jet ops
Chairman Lim Kim will be touting Eastern dash drivers as grossly overpaid!
The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications passenger activity stats showed that roughly 41,000 commercial RPT passengers flew out of Orange in 2019. The January 2020 numbers were 4,800 for the month or roughly 77 pax each day in each direction.

Mick, I dont know if you have noticed things are a bit different at the moment (could be a reason for that.... let me think about that for a minute
), nothing is as it was in January.

You are delusional Arnold.
After flying REX (regrettably) twice recently, I can see why they are scared of competition. The product they offer is plain.
If there was competition, I most definitely wouldn't be flying them.

Thanks Arnold, I had picked up on that. Sydney-Orange is an intrastate route and was accordingly somewhat less impacted by domestic travel restrictions. In April, with the restrictions in full swing, Orange's pax traffic was down by only around 5.5 percent year-on-year. Rex's claim of averaging (over what period is anyone's guess) only 40 pax a week doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
I take it you actually work there, as I said i'm retired now but I know people that actually are still there, they are saying the numbers quoted are pretty close if not exactly correct, go figure.
Even if 40 is correct for whatever average week Rex are quoting (we'll have a better handle on that in a couple of weeks when the May data is released) how does that have a bearing on a competitor's decision to enter the market? This notion that currently 'there's just enough for me, so sod off all other comers' is a combination of errant nonsense and rank arrogance (and stands in stark contrast to Rex's proposed foray into the intra-capital city market).
BNEA320, you obviously have difficulty with reading comprehension, I said i'm listening to people actually still working there. What have you got for sale, I'm interested
-41, its your choice but it wouldn't be the first time Q has put a Dash in a route and then pulled it later,
As I have said I dont understand all the negative Nellie stuff about REX, they are well managed and there still here

While he scribbles, Not Negotiable, AJ will say "while your at it yes please". AJ is chalking the cue to play a snookering shot.

Mick, I suggested that the route to Orange was not profitable so why would Q put a Dash in there? when Joyce claims q is bleeding cash at the rate of $40m a week? Q has not operated into there before, so with reduced passenger numbers there is no way either of them can make a profit from that route at this moment in time so whats the game? is it so QANTAS can bleed even more noney (their claim not mine) so that they can get a hand out as well. I have no problem if they get a handout as long as its not used to get rid of competition. And before you say it, Q didn't go to Orange before .
As Rex try to get rid of competition (VA) by embarking on a 10 jet golden triangle operation after crying wolf?
It is kind of an unwritten rule I thinking the expectation is you don’t just take cream off the top on the triangle. I think Rex are about to find out how much it hurts when you bite the hand that feeds you. As has been been pointed out from going bankrupt to bank rolling a 10 jet operation on startup it has made the transport minister look like the goose he is.
