BREAKING: Rex Airlines staff speaks out after sudden collapse

Responding to a customer's frustration over canceled flights, Rackley expressed her own heartbreak, sharing that she and her colleagues had lost their jobs unexpectedly.

She urged customers to treat staff with kindness during this difficult time.

Rackley posted heartfelt messages and photos from her time with Rex, thanking her colleagues and reflecting on the friendships formed.

As Rex enters voluntary administration, hundreds of employees face uncertain futures without immediate pay or severance.

The situation highlights the broader crisis in the aviation industry, as the Transport Minister and rival airlines like Virgin Australia and Qantas step in to manage the fallout.

Despite the turmoil, regional flights continue, and there's a glimmer of hope as the government and administrators work to ensure critical regional routes are maintained.

The TWU has urged the federal government to consider buying an equity stake in Rex to protect jobs and regional services.
