Tiger - Are they already in Trouble?
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. "

Here's the lineup of their key management team for Tiger Australia. Seems like some pretty experienced people in there.
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.

Assuming the going rates will be well above jetstar terms, how many jetstar pilots would consider jumping ship do you think?
On another tread, some CC actually admited to signing up without knowing exactly what the T&Cs where

CC will do that sort of stuff.............., so I'm told.
Did they find where the T&C's are at- or are they still looking????

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

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.
