I would say that its very unlikely, if tiger bought out
VB they would be making the same mistake as
VB themselves, over complicating the simplicity model. Other than the sydney slots they'd gain
VB has nothing really that tiger would need, they would have to negotiate the break up, re-negotiate with staff and so on. Better they let it collapse (if it does) and pick up what pieces it needs after. At least tiger is sticking to the single fleet low cost philosophy etc... I'd say tiger would be more interested in something like rex as a low cost regional feeder, but thats also pretty unlikely.
