VA is just lucky they were able to get most of their fleet back before Rex snaffled them up, otherwise they would have been up the creek with no boats to paddle.
The big bottle neck is heavy maintenance. Most available airframes have been in storage for 2+ years and are out of "C" check, so there's a backlog world wide.

Rex deputy chairman John Sharp said in a statement “Rex, on the other hand, has offered its SAAB pilots a 5.1 per cent pay rise from 1 July 2022, plus significant catch-up payments worth another 8 per cent once the business is profitable again.”

Is that a 5.1% rise from 2018 rates followed by a catch up payments when they deem themselves profitable which will be so far into the future that most current pilots will have left the company?

That's not the deal, a Rex pilot showed me what they have agreed and that's apparently what the company offered pre-PIA.

Looks like a bit of a ****show of a day for Rex jet today. -RQG in for a "C" check and -RQP off the line for some reason. Cancellations all over the shop including the sole SYD-OOL and return flights of the day.

Well that's disappointing.

I meant the 5.1% + 8% is the pre PIA figure that the company had offered. What the pilots have voted in is much better, which is a compromise with extra days off and future CPI increases. Probably worth over 10% up front and then CPI adjustments for a number of years. Also some backpay in installments.

Okay then sorry.
10% is still below CPI since 2018. They could have done a lot better. The company is very limited on crew currently. So much so I heard that whole bases could be wiped out in within weeks if Jetstar and Qantas take them.

I guess that makes sense why they are running a lot of routes via triangles at the moment. Seen Armidale go via Port, Dubbo via Parkes etc.

****show yesterday, worse today. Now looks like -PAG has joined -RQP and is also not flying. No SYD-OOL-SYD service yesterday, no MEL-CBR-MEL service today.

I'm guessing nobody asked Sharpie about his 117 percent annual total remuneration rise between FY21 and FY22. His total remuneration is now up by nearly 190 percent from pre-pandemic levels.

Rex have updated their profit guidance, only days after Qantas. Jets on track for profit while Saab operation is still loss making. They must have a good accountant!

If the Saabs aren't making money right now they will never make money again.

EBITDAR really means profit before we have paid all of our outstanding bills. Meaningless creativity.

EBITDAR stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation, and restructuring or rent costs (EBITDAR). It's useful for businesses such as hotels, restaurants or casinos that have unique or variable rent costs
Interest, pretty sure they own their birds so nothing there
Tax, is only on profit
Depreciation, I would think the SAABs have depreciated as much as possible

Amortisation, see above
Restructuring, possibly, a lot of route changes lately
Rent, perhaps...

Can't see $1mil being thrown into the negative with other costs, unless they are carrying losses over from earlier in the year

Good to see the jets making coin, as I predicted many time for November this year

or jet costs being handballed to the regionals.
