The fact of the matter is that if you have a startup carrier, and I do not care what the label is on the aeroplane, with a limited fleet that is on full utilisation any breakdown or lack of crew is going to cause tears.

There is no fallback. With a LCC you have rules and conditions that are layed down on the documentation you agree to at the time of purchase. Less than 1% would be aware of those conditions despite the fact that they ticked the box saying they acknowleged them.

Tiger have however stated that they are reaccommodating clients on other airlines where they are able to ex OOL, which is more than is generally offered by DJ or JQ so at least they appear to be having a go. End of schoolies will be complicating things.

Unfortunately if you buy a duck then you should not expect a pheasant, but this one appears to be trying to emulate a pheasant at least.

Cantstandya - the ones that paid $40 had all the conditions laid out in front of them and I am sure none of them read them.

Some things were never meant to fly.

Best regards all,
