Fair points - but the biggest problem was that ANY ANY ANY cost was screwed down from day 1 (and that has to be TD's claim to fame) to the point of stupidity.
Want to work the crew hard and have 30min turnarounds??
Fine - but get to work at 0530 and can't download your self briefing material because the "management" don't see the benefit/need to buy toner cartridges.
Dumb and cheap and ... dumb.
Sing management advise Oz of new aircraft for expansion...to be operational in 6 weeks.
Surprised when advised can't get the extra crews organised in that time - and happened again...and again...and...etc.
Dumb and cheap and ... dumb.
Also nice the imported CEO who could not grasp the concept that all office holders had to be approved by CASA - and who refused to have a Deputy CP processed and approved.
The reality - if the CP has a heart attack, gets run over by the proverbial "bus", whatever...Tiger get closed down EOFS!
Dumb and cheap and ... dumb.
TD has much to correct - but also much to accept responsibility for.
Chances?????????????????????????????
