I doubt you'll find anyone who is not already considering jobs OS will leave Tiger over this.
That may well be true.
Explain to me why it's is a pilots responsibility to compensate his employer for a decision made by his employer to change aircraft types.
If Tiger wish to change types it is their responsibility to cover the cost of that change.
What about the income loss the pilot has to forego during the time off line for training?
What's next? Expect the pilot is to kick in for the cost of buying the aircraft?
If you think this won't influence anyone's decision to leave then you're kidding yourself. You can only kick a dog for so long until it decides to bite your leg off.
