Tiger - Are they already in Trouble?

[TurbineDreamer]

Found this on another website, not sure if accurate, but interesting if true.

"company is struggling to fill the pilots positions due to the expected package which does not compare to other Au operators, pilots are no longer willing to pay for ratings in this current market. Also, uncertainty about the project due to other projects in the past have failed. Rumour says that they are not able to get AOC from CASA. "

[The Kavorka]

I hear hat they are having a great deal of trouble getting an AOC, apparently their paperwork sent into casa was a disgrace!!

[VH DSJ]

Here's the lineup of their key management team (http://peanuts.aero/low_cost_airline_news/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4445&Itemid=) for Tiger Australia. Seems like some pretty experienced people in there.

[apacau]

Well it's true they were announcing their routes on a very regular basis and then suddenly went very quiet... and has stayed that way.

[otto the grot]

Assuming the going rates will be well above jetstar terms, how many jetstar pilots would consider jumping ship do you think?

The Garden Knome will not be happy.

[bizzybody]

I would be interested to know how far down the track they are with regard to their HC AOC.

AND what problems have been encounted

[Going Boeing]

I doubt that many would be considering leaving Jetstar for Tiger in the short term because of the risk that Tiger will not stay around - even though it has the massive backing of SQ and Temasek. Jetstar is already established and getting the full support of the QF infrastructure whereas Tiger has to set everything up. The Singaporeans aren't adverse to spending money where there looks like a good long term return but they do not like to have money continuously bleeding with no returns in sight.

PS. The Tiger CEO has been having discussions with real estate agents about purchasing a penthouse apartment (circa $3million) in Melbourne for his use when in Oz.

Thats the problem Otto, everyone is assuming, but I don't think I have seen one single post ( correct me if I'm wrong ) from someone who actually knows the T&Cs.
On another tread, some CC actually admited to signing up without knowing exactly what the T&Cs where :confused::confused:

Did they find where the T&C's are at- or are they still looking????:} ;)

I think I've seen this before when VB appeared on the horizon.

[Roost]

I know of 3.

[Trashed Aviator]

i KNOW MANY a320 RATED aUSSIES OVERSEAS HAVNT HEARD A THING FROM THEIR APPLICATION. nO SHORTAGE...

[GAFA]

I know one pilot who does not of an A320 and he just got a start with Tiger as an FO. I believe he has to pay half of the endorsement and the other half comes out of his pay for the first year. FO pay is mid 90's

[Trashed Aviator]

I have 5000 command A320 , no contact, anybody got any ideas what to do....

[Enema Bandit's Dad]

Apply to Jetstar.

[Trashed Aviator]

but jetstar is only for f/o positions....

[Enema Bandit's Dad]

So what? Do you want to work out here or not?? :{

[Mr. Hat]

making the TC slightly better and expecting the J* pilots to jump ship is a pipe dream.

No shortage - call it what you want but last time i checked you no longer need thousands of hours for a turbine gig and nor do you need three milllion contacts to get a piston job. Those pretending that the landscape has not changed need to stop day dreaming.

Not sure if Tiger will be lucky enough to have either QF, Jetstar or VB go broke and give them 30% of the market overnight.

yeh, right, lookout Tiger, Jet*, VB, QF, the virtual airline is coming

OK - time for me to be flame grilled (maybe.)

If anyone has lost money, been defrauded, or otherwise suffered from these antics then all bets off - go for it.

If doing this over a long period of time has been HIS way of dealing with things then he's better off than the 15 (+/-) ex AN who have taken more severe actions to deal with their dissapointment.

Let the flame grilling begin!! :ok:
