SIA did a good job of distancing itself from Tiger and not many people in Singapore and Australia knew that Tiger was associated with SQ. Today, nearly everyone in both countries knows this is the case.
So SQ is now embarrassed, they have to deal with this mess, the Tiger shareholders are screwed, the Australian staff are screwed, and Tony Davis? Well whatever happens, he's $30 mil richer.
Right on the money Dr P, my view as well. The whole (UK/Ireland lead) LCC models in Singapore and Australia may not fit the combined population of the two countries compared to that of the European market (with plentiful secondary "main city "airports). The Add on stuff at Aussie airport check in's just makes everyone grumpy, I suspect the same goes for Changi. Both Australia and Singapore always were great no fuss gateways to the world,.
Since the advent of the Australian and Singaporean LCC's over the past few years the industry has become a grumpy race to the bottom with costs.
As someone said on here, there is a limit before something goes bang.

TIGER AIRWAYS was in disarray last night following the extension of its flying ban and the shock resignation of its Australian chief executive.
Why do we have to be like everyone else?
