Management Changes in Tiger?

[SIDSTAR]

Anyone know what's going on in Tiger Airlines? Rumours on the street about management changes. How about it Tigers? What's the story?

[longlatif]

Jet Star and Tiger in talks...

2 might become one...:uhoh:

[crewmeal]

What absolute rubbish. Tiger is going from strength to strentgh and the merger of weak competitors is to be encouraged, but certainly not joined!

[Soho_Sophie]

2 nothing airlines - hardly even established - not likely to survive - who really cares :rolleyes:

[Ghostrider777]

Heard the tiger is going strong..........

[longlatif]

Jetstar and Tiger join forces in Singapore in a move that has angered Malaysian Airlines and Value Air. It is beleived that Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon and senior managers of Tiger have been in talks for several months due to the down turn in aviation and increase in fuel prices.

Have not seen the article but is it true?

[Icebreaker]

longlatif,

no it's not true and no such article.

[StripeyJet]

Longlatif - Absolute tosh.

Why would Tiger want to put a foot on the rapidly melting iceberg that is JSA?

If Tiger is doing that, why are JSA pilots applying to Tiger? Wouldn't they just want to wait and see if all they needed to keep continuous service was a change of hat badge?

Grrrrrrrrrr

Hi all,

Not sure about the merging article,but check out NST dated 12/7/05.There's an article about Tiger and Jetstar abandoning talks of merging.So there should have been a merging plan prior to this......no?

[StripeyJet]

Don't believe everything (ANYTHING!) you read in the newspapers....

Just ask yourself - why on earth would Tiger want to merge with JSA?? What is in it for Tiger??

JSA may well want to merge with Tiger - but it takes willing on both sides to start this sorta thing.... Stripey would like to date Cindy Crawford, but that isn't going to happen, 'cos Cindy don't want to date Stripey! Capiche?

Tiger does not need JSA. Tiger does not need Valuair.

The reverse statement? Hmmmmm.

Stripey sees carnage ahead... but just remember that no-one eats Tigers....

Grrrrrrrr

[Ndicho Moja]

Tigers are more often poached..until extinct!

[StripeyJet]

Trust me - the only trophies on the wall at Changi will be a kangaroo's head and a Valuair tail!

No tiger skin rugs, that's for sure!

Grrrrrr

[longlatif]

I beleive there are more kangaroo's than Tigers in the world these days....

I'm sure your job will be safe at Tiger StripeyJet with or without the merger. :hmm:

[StripeyJet]

Which particular part of "absolute tosh" is not being understood here?

[boebus]

What a load of sh!t!

It was Jetstar and Valueair that had talks - which have now been completed without any merger/takeover! Tiger were never in the talks! Some Singapore Journo said it was a good idea, but you can't believe what you read in the papers!

SQ will support Tiger:p

QF will support JetstarAsia:p

They will 'fight the fight' for the 'big two' until the SYD-LAX issue is resolved!

Not sure what will happen to Valueair - not in bed with the 'big two'.

Valueair is on the outside on this one:{

Tiger pilots will be safe!

[Dani]

Please bear in mind that the big fight is not among the Changi predators, but across the Strait: AA is still the number one, and SQ founded TR because of them.

JSA and Valuair are just for the breakfest, AA is the main course for the Changi hunter...

[longlatif]

Trust a Malay paper to get the names mixed up...

Sorry folks :ok:

Value and JSA...Now that could be interesting...:E

[SIDSTAR]

I repeat the original question which had nothing to do with mergers between Tiger/Jetstar/Valuair. What's happening with Tiger management? Surely some of you tiger-jockeys can tell the rest of us as the rumours are flying about a new CEO (No 2 or 3?) and a new chief pilot (No 2 or 3?).

[Dani]

1. No new CEO.

2. Chief pilot became chief training, new chief pilot not yet appointed.

[SIDSTAR]

Dani thanks. Just saw the advert in Flight International for Chief Pilot and Head of Quality and Safety. When are the pilot jobs coming up? What are the T & Cs like and is it true you must pay for your own type rating even if you're already rated?

[Dani]

T&C:
You get paid 8000S$/month plus 109.50/hrs (FO: 82.50). That's all included, you get drinking water for free, nothing else. Basic health insurance has now been included. During training 170$/day, hourly pay starts from first day without supervision.

You fly close to 100hrs/month and 1000hrs/year. Rostering pattern 5-3-5-2, relatively stable, sometimes they ask you to work during your off day.

Bond is now 60 000$, 30 000 paid upfront, rest deducted from salary, 2 years long. If you are rated and CAAS accept your rating, you don't have to do it again.
