Qantas is once again bragging about how formidable it is. In a CAPA forum last week, Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce boasted that “when Qantas plays its best game, it always wins”. He then went on to discredit Rex for the third time in as many months in an attempt to cast doubts about Rex’s viability.

Rex’s patience has a limit. It is now time to set the record straight.
