You guys know they have ground A/C carts right?? That does a pretty good job of cooling the cabin down, even in summer.

Wait and see

Despite some of the negative and clearly biased comments on here, the next 2 years or so will be interesting to watch in Aus aviation (and not clear cut).

I think the fact Rex can do 90% OTP on a SAAB at least shows they’ll treat OTP seriously on any jet fleet as well. A 737 is just another aircraft, not some special unicorn. So if the culture exists...
