I don't have a problem with the action so much (from what I hear the CEO or 'high-level' managers within Tiger have treated Flt Ops with disdain).
What I do object to is CASA pulling this action right at the start of the school holidays? This causes maximum inconvenience to the public.
Why Now?
Why not 1 week ago or in 2 week's time?
CASA did the same thing with Compass Mk 1. They pulled the AOC and thereby caused the collapse of the airline a few days before Christmas, over alleged non-payment of airways fees (a mirky issue that took years to actually substantiate/settle).
There was a well-organised plan to stitch Compass up, orchestrated by the commercial opponents of Compass and with the full assistance of many authorities and individuals who should have been impartial. A very unsavoury collusion between private enterprise and the government.
Why the hell do that a few days before Christmas other than to maximise passenger inconvenience and decimate the brand?
So I have no doubt that Tiger need an almighty kick up the bum.
What does make me concerned is the timing of CASA's action. Deja Vu?
