You've gotta wonder what Trimwheel's motivation is in posting dribble like that... 
Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me.
Historically, there may have been an element of truth to some of those points, but many of the other claims are way off the mark.
Tiger is getting bigger by the day, and things are changing for the better. Kowlaski seems much closer to the truth...

Seems someone doesn't want to come clean....
High Profile Managing Director?? LOL!
Tiger's Canberra routes up in the air
Tiger Airways is doing little to quell mounting speculation it is quitting Canberra.The budget airline said in a statement yesterday, after refusing to answer questions about the future of its Canberra services, that it continued to liaise with Canberra Airport.
''No decisions have been made yet on the Canberra schedule from early October. Tiger Airways continually reviews its network and service and works hard to meet the needs of its customers,'' it said.
''It's not that we're avoiding breaking bad news. We hope to be in a position to finalise the Canberra schedule for the October 2009-March 2010 period soon.'' It said the airline employed ''around 18'' people in Canberra.
When Tiger's high-profile managing director Shelley Roberts was contacted for comment yesterday, she said she was in the United States and ''out of the loop'' on what was happening with the Canberra services.

also wouldn't cease to amaze my if this new A320 sits on the apron at ADL for half the day like the other few did.

Ignorance summed up in one neat quote
You do realise that there is a significant difference between what is legal and what is safe? Just because something is legal does not mean it's safe.
... airlines can afford less than to utilse their workforce within the safe and legal boundaries.

Maybe aircraft No. 8 from December.
And it might be based in ADL.
And possibly a base at Avalon to scrap it out with Jetstar. That should make a few crew happy...

There is just no where near enough HBA-QLD capacity at the moment with DJ only operating the E90 once daily on HBA-BNE, and JQ four weekly on the LST-BNE. At its peak we had DJ and JQ on HBA-BNE with 737/320 (DJ sometimes twice daily too), plus DJ on LST-BNE with the E70 on top of JQ four weekly LST-BNE. Then JQ moved to the "midnight schedule" and it died. At the start of the GFC, DJ cut the LST-BNE, dropped the second HBA-BNE and downgraded the other HBA-BNE from 73H to E90 despite the fact that since the start of the GFC, HBA airport is the 2nd fastest growing in Australia.

Yes, I suppose it would be 11 hours or more!
But the triangular ADL-OOL-HBA-ADL would be acceptable. As the ADL-OOL currently departs first thing anyway, they could for example on Mon,Wed,Fri,Sun operate the above triangular service instead of the current ADL-OOL-ADL-HBA-ADL rotation. The new aircraft could then operate the ADL-HBA-OOL-ADL direction. Then, on Tue,Thu,Sat the current aircraft could simply operate ADL-OOL-ADL-ASP-ADL as it does now. Throw in some ADL-PER (daily afternoon operated by new aircraft), ADL-CNS (Tue,Thu,Sat flown by the new aircraft instead of ADL-HBA-OOL-ADL) and you have a full schedule!

Just reading that you guys are doing 5 sectors a day makes me squirm.
Guess I am getting soft in my old age!
Are you shattered after a day like that or able to front up next day for more of the same?

New base to be announced shortly, probably more routes too with the next aircraft going to Adelaide, probably ADL/PER daytime?
apparently lots of interviewing / upgrading and lots more to come in 2010
