Word is that Tigerair advertised for high time pilots to supplement their choice of check and training options and that they are talking to a significant number of interested people. I guess if you have been flying for 30 years you're going to have at least 15000 hours and if you want to come home after a dose of sand where else is there.
Makes sense. And surely these high time guys won't stop any F/O from being upgraded especially given their expansion plans.
From my perspective I would rather have my family on a plane with experienced pilots who know what they are doing.
