it's a SME Startup, Duh. They listened to Tony Fernandes, only way to break into the aussie market.
Am I going to come up and set up AirAsia Australia? No. Tiger is on drugs doing it," Mr Fernandes told The Australian Financial Review.
"You (Tiger) are sitting on a market of a billion people and you go and put half your capacity in a market of 24 million which has two pretty strong airlines; it doesn't make sense to me."
Singapore-based Tiger Airways yesterday launched a $S273 million ($214 million) initial public offering. It set up a domestic airline in Australia in 2007.

They could employ Aussie pilots if they really want to get it in the air. Ah well I don’t actually care tho.

I will never be in the spot you wish me to be in…never. So pull your head on. If other countries do what Bonza wish to do good, I hope it doesn’t happen here plenty of Aussies in need of a job.
You jest, not plenty of current B737-8Max captains (and F/O’s) sitting idyll waiting for a call-out for a few months work starting with little call up time.
You do get that these are seasonal jobs, right? Come April or May these aircraft will be going back to Canada and the jobs along with them.
That said, an actual knowledgeable flight operations outfit would have been ahead of the curve on this caper, even to the extent of getting Transport Canada to do an expedited licence/endorsement for Australian pilots to fly these specific aeroplanes in Australia. I have had several such limited waivers from foreign regulators over the years.

so there 737-8max type rated crews swanning around Oz looking for a gig. If Virgin would like your resume. Flair arrived as ACMI aircraft but obviously someone didn’t do their homework…
To obtain a FAAOC under the new regulations, CASA (when you ask them) will tell you the minimum time for approval is 90 days and the time to approve is dependent on how good the initial application is.
So unless Flair applied for the FAAOC back in late July/early August and their application was as the best of the best, there was no way Flair would be issued an FAAOC in November.

Of course the next question is why does CASA take 90 days to review regulated documents from a country that meets the requirements of EASA/FAA or recognised countries like Canada and UK.
Because they start exactly at 9am, followed by their daily coffee making session which normally involves the entire team where they banter about the food old days, followed by a stop by the glass cabinet housing all the retired planes they used to fly, a few daily birthday cakes, read a few emails but don't respond, lunch, coffee, another visit to glass cabinet and then at 4:58pm logoff computer just in time for digits to roll over to 5:00 .

same mob that just keeps changing its name
DCA, DOT ATG, CASA and one looks at overseas equivalents they still use the same names eg FAA, CAA etc etc
we say change the name is change the culture!!!
another misguided issue impacting all agencies in Australia. It’s an immature approach and good for advertising agencies
