hongkongfooey,
Seems they won't be employing anyone for a while, if ever.
Heard that CASA have stopped them in their tracks and won't let them get anymore aircraft in Oz for the foreseeable future. Apparently engineering is an issue amongst others. The same thing has happened in Singapore.
If CASA let them start the Avalon base in November, as advertised, Tiger will have to take an existing aircraft from Adelaide and one from Tullamarine to make it happen.
What happens to the crews in Adelaide and Melbourne? Are they going to be forced to move because surely Tiger won't pay for crew to be sitting around.
As we all know there is always a bigger picture and we are unlikely to be allowed to see it.
However, even the blind, deaf and dumb must be wondering what the hell is going on in Tiger Central.
What was once an attractive option appears to have focused on becoming another Australian statistic.
