Good post and questions. Why should the taxpayer support this airline.

Because without them domestic fares will triple or more, domestic tourism will stall and the economy take that much longer to recover.

Better take a stake in the company and keep it going.

Exactly.

They might not triple, but they'll double for sure.

Well then you'll have to drive.
Simple really if you don't want to pay the fair

I'll pay the fare.

Lol, where do you get this stuff from.

you seen what quantas charges FIFO when flying to or from areas where there is no competition? What makes you think they'd give a poo with other destinations when you have no choice?

you were whinging about $5 for water on the flight, good luck flying if jetstar goes.

Virgin werent competing on most of those routes. Thats always been the issue, not the number of airlines but what routes they were flying. And it QANTAS , not QUANTAS you dufus.

Virgin wasn't competing? and if virgin goes bust will they still be competing you fool? Cheesy

not the sharpest tack are you? Qantas overcharges FIFO because of no competition. Remove Virgin, and they have no competition on most of their routes. No competition and their prices will skyrocket on those routes

Is that dumbed down enough for you or are you still struggling with basic understanding?

The best plan I've heard so far is to let it go into receivership and restructure their dept, allow the chance for private investment and only then if required the Govt can buy equity which can then be sold down the track.

Stating the obvious .... it's "foreign" private investment that's gone broke & they're looking for Govt bailouts.

So we'd be getting more of the same .....

& we don't need China running a our domestic services.

Whinge about Qantas offshoring maintenance?

It'll be done offshore if the Chinese run the whole show.

With the amount of money they pull out of taxpayers & consumers they should be able to sh1t 2 airlines in.

We had 2 when our population was half what it is now.

The government is helping Rex which is Aussie owned

Quote:

Regional Express (also known as Rex) is an Australian airline based in Mascot, New South Wales.[1][2] It operates scheduled regional services.[3] It is Australia's largest regional airline outside the Qantas group of companies and serves New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia. Its entire fleet consists of 57 Swedish built Saab 340 turboprop aircraft seating 33, 34 or 36 passengers.
