That DJ E-170...it's got a silver bottom! (Where the APU exhaust is) And the Virgin logo on the tail, does that look kosher???

The Virgin Logo on the EMB's will be the updated version of the current Virgin logo. This updated version is being introduced across the entire Virgin Group of companies - its already part of the new Virgin Atlantic livery, and also the Virgin America livery.

Hey, there you go! I wasn't being a dill after all! (for a change)

Tiger propose - $119k as a base + $73/hr up to 1000 hrs
Asuming above figures are correct and you average 999 hours that works out to about AUS$10400 per month after tax. Your refund might be about 4-5 grand if your luckey.
On 240K your looking at $12600 per month net. Bit better but hardly an incentive to move from a hi-paying lo-tax job OS and I heard Tiger wont provide any fringe benefits at all like transport (but thatd be taxed to the hilt anyway).
Then you have to put up with ASIC, rent or morgage out of your own pocket, super tax, etc.
I dont think theyll get any Dragonair drivers - even the FOs are on a better wicket.
