^^That article is quite sad, no excuse for the sub-zero contact levels..

I hear that they are now breaking even in OZ and that the load factor is pretty good?
Unless you are Tony Davis, the Oz MD, or on the Tiger Board, you dont know nothing!. Load factor for Melbourne base is quite good here and there, Tues/Wed can be a but gloomy, and CBR/LST are also abit low at times. Adelaide base rarely sees a full flight, but hangs around the 70% mark often. Sydney bookings are apparently absolutely beyond all expectations plus Tiger also sold more than 70,000 seats of those taxes only fares over the 4 day sale.

I doubt they have breakeven yet, considering the jump in fuel would have sent tiger into the red a fair bit, but the bumper summer season that Tiger got in MEL/low fuel prices will hopefully not makes things look as bad.
