If that was the case then J* and Virgin would have to meet the same requirement. What I don't understand is that CASA are saying that Tiger's paperwork is not up to the required standard. What happened to the paperwork that was presented for their original AOC application? Or is it a case of if you start small then there is less paperwork required. CASA should be held to account for why Tiger was allowed to start in the first place.
As for DEC for Tiger Captains into J* they need to have a good look at what happened to the last batch of DEC's in 2008. The other issue is that if Tiger were grounded because of an apparent lack of appropriate standards in pilot training why should they be going to J* as DEC?
