He will be lucky to get the wastewater truck named after him

From what I’ve been told 9V-MGM will be number 10

Meanwhile they are cutting back a vast number of country services ex Sydney due to a lack of pilots:

Quote:

In a statement to the media, Rex said services would be reduced on the following NSW routes until March 31, 2024.

Sydney-Albury
Sydney-Coffs Harbour
Sydney-Griffith
Sydney-Narrandera
Sydney-Orange
Sydney-Parkes
Sydney-Port Macquarie
Rex will also suspend services between Sydney and Armidale until March next year, and withdraw from the Cairns-Bamaga route in Far North Queensland.

Edit that. 9V-MGM will be number 11 technically with number 10 now coming from a company in the USA that fell through.

Rumours RQG is also due to leave at the end of the lease making them back to 10

RQC off to the Philippines on the 14th October for a C check via CNS

Greg Hyde 19th October 2023 10:26 AM

Rex is planning to lease an additional B737 before Xmas.
