Tiger and J*
I had heard that Tiger were about to interview a whole bunch of jq guys...
It seems that confusion reins... everyone will poach everyone else's pilots and the status quo will remain.

One Dot, basically these days people move jobs like they change underwear. Conditions are gone and loyalty has followed.
Some Jetstar fo's might take a quick upgrade at Tiger and then go to Air China!

re the DRW guy's. heard that it was all about point a loaded gun at jq management and once desired effect occured, they pulled out of the tiger process
I think it has already been tried, soon after Tiger started key personnel recieved attractive offers to jump ship.
Of course pilots moving from either company would lose their place on the seniority list and have to start at the bottom again which would be a strong incentive to stay. All the benefits and security built up by loyal service over the years would be gone. Oh, hang on that doesn't apply anymore does it.
Note that in Singapore both Tiger and Jetstar have a clause in the employment contract prohibiting a pilot from working for another airline in Singapore within six months of leaving. One answer to poaching but not entirely sure how it would go down in Australia.

Mr Hat, in answer to 'what's so good about Air China'- the short answer is that they treat their pilots with respect. Something the older Australian pilots will remember & the younger ones have yet to experience (and are unlikely to in the current environment), Cheers.

The way you blokes go on about the management of the carriers involved, I would have thought you didn't believe they could poach an egg, let alone a pilot.

Can someone please explain?
If I work for J*, is somebodey from tiger going to write/phone/email me and offer me a job?
And visa versa if I work for tiger?
The point is, personally, if I worked for either one and was not happy or thought the grass was greener, then I would initiate the move across, ie
I don't think I would be poached like an A league Baseball player.
How does one poach a pilot? Ans 6 hours on the ground at good ole Yagga Yagga or Balgo or perhaps well 33 on the canning stock route.
