Lion Air - Tiger Airways
Some remarkable similarities are emerging between these two.
From a previous posting on this forum, asking about
Lion Air's financial capabilities..
The applicant responsible to:
1. Pay the training cost including PC
2. Insurance and Medical treatment
3. Provide them self: uniform White short sleeve shirt and dark blue trouser
(we provide them: tie, wings, bar and hat) Yes.....
and from
Tiger Airways website (
http://www.tigerairways.com/)..
To encourage crewmembers to take care of their uniform, crew will have a small deduction, over three months, from their salary as a contribution towards the cost of providing the uniform.
Two weeks leave a year can be bid for. Leave beyond that will be assigned to manage FTLs.
Your Initial Contract
Before commencing employment, you will receive for your signature your contract and specific terms and conditions. Your initial contract will be for three years, renewable by mutual agreement.
The remuneration under the contract will become available once pilots are the holders of a Singaporean Professional Flight Crew Licence, endorsed with an A320 family rating and an Instrument Rating.
To keep administration costs to a minimum, our approach is that we simply provide you with a monthly salary and leave it to you to decide what expenses are appropriate to your circumstances.
IMO, airlines that indicate they can't AFFORD to be financially responsible for providing the very BASIC of costs (eg crew uniforms and meals), from the outset, should NOT be allowed to commence operations, as their SAFETY record
has to be suspect.
If they can't afford items such as shirts, how can they afford to pay for expensive,
NECESSARY aircraft MAINTENANCE??!!
