Tiger Territory is down South
The Tier model is to operate the southern part of Oz first.
They plan to expand into QLD next year,then the capital cities after that.
They are not rushing or is it crawlling before you walk.
Tiger is a very low cost,no huge costs, just look at the others-$50 mil just to overnight crew- yes you need alot of SYD/MEL to pay for that.
Tigers motto-The cheapest seats-The safest Airline-And the Happiest Staff
The new CEO FOR OZ is the greatest thing to happen to TIGER and SIA are very happy with the operation-- with 70 A320s on order- Just wait & watch !!

Maybe Tiger is doing exactly that, crawl-walk-run, get a foothold on minor routes, work your stuff out, then enter the squable over mel-syd-bris well prepared and experienced in the local market.

Can anyone actually post here what the terms and conditions are at Tiger. They are advertising for pilots but I can't find any info about pay. And before anyone says to do a search, I have and have just found lots of posts about how bad it is to pay for training and having to hand write flight plans etc...... Any actual Tiger pilots out there that could PM me some terms and conditions would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi guys,
is there any concrete word on an ADL CC base? If so, does anyone have any info or timings of when the base will open?

I imagine further routes from Adelaide to be announced soon?
A little birdie also told me that due to maintenance scheduling, rather than having all A319s in ADL and A320s in MEL, the reality is that they are likely to be shared across both bases (though not yet confirmed). The extra flexibility does make sense to match capacity with demand as needed.

I herd from certian adelaide people that Tiger have already began negotiating new routes, however are going to "wait and see" how the currently announced routes go first.....
Should be interesting...

My Initial prediction for the Adelaide base is the scaling back to 3weekly of ADL-HBA. Just my thought, feel free to disagree...
No birdy told me this, but I have a feeling we will see Tiger enter the Cairns market very soon. Setting up a base there would also be good. Didn't Jetstar close down a base there? or was that someone else? Townsville also has good potential ex MEL, they would do well out of this
Sydney and Brisbane will come guys, might just be 10 years away, thats all

you've pretty well hit the nail on the head with the Cairns base,
Apparantly the hope is to get a base open there, and they are looking into Adelaide-Cairns daily or every second day... but thats pure speculation, just rumors floating around....

Jetstar seems to be doing excellent on MEL-CNS as well as Qantas. Tiger would do quite well out of Cairns as they are usually about 30/40% cheaper than there rivals. I would certainly use them for this service.
They seem keen on all this "overseas routing, using Australian Based Crew" idea though, which would suit Cairns, as well as Melbourne....
But, as Tiger are great at never letting details emerge, who knows when we will find out whats going on with this airline.......

Let me just clarify a couple of things here.
Tiger doesn't need to open a base in CNS to operate there. However, I agree with Sunstar 320, CNS is probably on the radar for destinations in the very near future.
No one. Not even the managing director, knows where the next base will be. That won't be known until they've run all the numbers. And who knows when that'll be 'cause they are certainly in no hurry.
Based on the numbers, for all we know, base 3 could be Perth. They will go were the best deal is offered.
We can speculate all we like about this mob but there track record so far is to keep everyone guessing. And QANTAS and Virgin can't stand it.

'bogan',
Although they dont have to open a base there, you have to admit, it has a great potential to become a fantastic operating base, aswell as perth...
Yes other places have potential but I strongly belive that CNS would be a prime location for them
