I am currently flying from MEL to OOL on a freq basis, all on Tiger.

I would have to say that the crew appears to be hyper-vigilant on loading, I have noticed on several occasions where the crew have asked for tickets, either due to a male-female passenger difference or empty/full seating, at one point even calling out a pax name to locate, who had sat in a different seat.
Due to loading or perhaps revenue, carryon baggage weights are very, very strictly enforced, as is checked baggage.

I have noticed that on gate, DEP pax are not directed to front/back, so most tend to flock and wait at the front, which so far, tends to stop imbalance issues on loading.

I have only noticed one issue, on RW16 ARR, the ac came in real fast, and missed the high speed exit and had to go the long way, not certain if that caused a GA upstream...

Flying the same route, the Jetstar ac have been of a 2000 vintage, (one even had the signage in German and English, so you know where that came from) while the Tiger ac has been either a 2003 or a 2013 vintage...
