Latest Tiger email offers Singapore to Mel for $119.99

This mob will do some damage. They are out to get Q.F and have plenty of backing.

QF might have to dig into Darth's bonus to match Tiger's offers.

I did a search..........really I did, but the other day someone posted a link to that Qantas letter - the one describing the crews behaviour in a crew hotel. Can someone kindlt point me in the right direction?

Hmmm....while I'm at it..does anyone have a link to a TCAS audio alarm (Whoop Whoop pull up) - or stall warning announcement? Looking to fit into Son's model A/C, so as to replicate in conjunction with an onboard miniature video camera.

Tks in advance

Gee Wiz, another low cost carrier

YAWN

All I want is value for money and good service and I am willing to pay for it.

I am not interested in flying with anyone who claims to be offering flights over 3000Km long for less than the price of two cartons of crownies.

All QF has to do now is raise the bar with full service and they will have a point of difference to win market share on. For gods sake the word Qantas doesn't have to be synonymous with poor food.

I would rather have one person traveling on a $300.00 ticket than three on a $79.00 ticket any day if I was running the business.

I think Tiger is going to cause more harm then good to the australian industry at present. Unless they come into the frey with super T+C's for pilots its all going to end in tears by the end of it. The 4 airline model has never worked in aus.. Someone is going to go bust by the end of all this, leaving more guys and gals out of work.

So do you care to enlighten us on your "bad experience" with your $50 fare? And do you really think Tiger is going to have the extra capacity to avoid a domino disruption to services when one of their aircraft goes offline? It took vigin years to gain the service redundancy they have today.

On the bright side... It will be great for the media to have a new carrier to write calous accusations about and ascew truths about....

Unfortunatly I think it will be Qantas mainline who will suffer the most with my 2 cents worth of opinion. The company will require a LCC to go head to head with Tiger - Jetstar is more then capable of doing that now. Virgin as a "New world carrier" would have very little trouble to transition to a full service airline at a must lower seat cost then the big Q.... So i ask.. Where does that leave Qantas? There simply arn't enough bums to fill seats.

If Tiger runs at a loss like it does overseas, the industries picture will be alot different in the few years and will be far removed to how it is at present.... albiet for the worse.

I wonder if this supposed trading with no profit is considered "predatory trading" by the ACCC.

I know they do zip about fuel companies and bugger all about any major company like QF or VB so when a big foreigner with huge backing begins predatory activities will the act?

Or will it be only due pressure on Canberra from Mr Dixon and co?
