Ex pollie, megalomania come to mind. Get in sort the details later, or even better get someone else to sort the details.John Sharp surely wouldn't have taken over as chairman if he didn't have the numbers to survive a challenge.
With apologies to Yes Minister.They might be too busy battling each other for control of the board to consider the finer details like marketing and profit
And whats the point of Qantas flying anywhere claiming national carrier when they are ~40% foreign owned and couldn't bring Aussies home during COVID."what was the point of flying metropolitan jet services while retaining the brand “Regional Express”
They might do something because of the regional routes.Why should they bother to save it?
See the posts above. We have four other airlines capable of flying to those regional destinations, and the government can just strike deals with them.They might do something because of the regional routes.
Leave Qantas to Project Sunset.I've just had a look at the Rex map. There are only a few Rex monopoly destinations in Australia, excluding the Qld government subsidised network. So any talk that a potential Rex collapse will leave regional Australia "disconnected from the world" is overblown.
Rex-monopoly destinations in 2024:
Parkes
Moruya
Narrandera
Ceduna
Coober Pedy
Carnarvon
Monkey Mia
Albany
Esperance
QLD connection network
I think these destinations could easily be served by other airlines if the appropriate government support is given. It could be that Qantas starts flights to Albany and Esperance, Alliance takes over the QLD network, Coober Pedy, Ceduna, Monkey Mia and Carnarvon, Link Airways takes over Narrandera and Parkes, and Pelican starts flights to Moruya.

But… the whole benefit of having four operators is competition, and competition for pricing of subsidised regional services.See the posts above. We have four other airlines capable of flying to those regional destinations, and the government can just strike deals with them.
Rex regional of 2019 is not the Rex regional of 2024. There are now only 3 Rex monopoly destinations in NSW, for example. Parkes, Narrandera and Moruya. I’m sure that QF, Link, Alliance or Pelican will be happy to fly those routes if given the appropriate government support.
