I hope I'm in line with the subject of Tiger Tales. But I find it interesting that anecdotes of pilots coming home from abroad, to a longed for Australian lifestyle, only to resign from Tiger.
So they must have accepted the coin. But something went awry with the job/lifestyle to resign.
I hear Hong Kong will dry up as a source for experienced, type rated pilots. A part time scheme is on the table- work 5 months of the year and get paid the same amount ( probably much more if the $ weakens ) than a low cost Australian captain.
