Thumbs up Back to School
I saw an article in the Australian that said:

Quote:
Meanwhile,the low-cost carrier has also sent some of its senior people back to school. The training of 24 staff at RMIT University involves mainly senior pilots, cabin trainers and safety and quality-related senior ground crew.
Does anyone know what the actual training or course was?

Stay Alive,

TIGER Airways has vowed to run at a loss for as long as it takes to break Qantas and Virgin Australia's dominance in the domestic air fare market.

Glad I don't invest in Tiger Airways. This is almost predatory pricing, intentionally running at a loss to the detriment of competitors.

I guess safety standards will take another cut too....

They lost face...
My understanding is Singapore is staying in it to "stick it up 'em!".

Just wait and see what happens when the tiger pounces. Singapore Airlines will make sure it's a success, Scoot too.

just my 2c

Dr, Pepz said 18/11/2009
Quote:
KABOY - a bit naive to think that SIA has the time and resources to sit around and burn money on TR just to "look good" and "save face". Singapore is not China and the culture here is by no means "Chinese".

Next, TR is not a subsidiary of SIA. 51% is owned by other shareholders, so SIA cannot unanimously make decisions on what to do with TR.
So Dr.Pepz who's calling the shots in this money burning exercise? Directors don't lose money unless their shareholders are happy to.

Tiger have been around for 4years+ now, and never made a profit.
My question is, what are Tiger waiting for before they pounce?

Tiger's problems over the years are a direct result of one incompetent CEO, who appointed all his ex colleagues from sinking ship BMI. They came, they didn't know the market nor anything about safety, and they sure didn't like spending money. And my god it blew up in their faces.

Today's Tiger is a different story. Run by somebody who knows the market and wants to take the company far. And he is most certainly delivering, will be very interesting how he steers the company over the next 5 years.

Ben Sandilands sums it up quite well..

With load factors of around 90% for this weekend, it would seem someone is doing something right...
