Tiger now employing DEC Astronaut's.......
Impressive-the ex AN legacy seems like it will never die. Thats nearly double the requirements for DEC at EK-which has just a few more challenges 
Reality is that if you are an Australian and you already have airline jet command time you would be close to that anyway. The majority of the Captains at VB/Jetstar/QF would have that easy.
This ain't Europe where you start flying a 737/A320 with 250 hours. Most guys start in jets around 5000 total.
Tiger want guys with experience and good luck to them
Whether they want to pay for that or not will be the question!

Oztranoughts only perhaps

"your application was not as competitive as other applicants in this instance."
Lots of competition and highly experienced applicants don't you know.
It's not about if you cut the grade, it's all about comparing you to others post testing assessment, I guess they want some pilots that will surpass everyone else.

An expat mate tried Tiger for a while but it was so bad, he went overseas again.
And I can tell you personally that I know of no-one in CX who is interested.

The plan, or at least what has been purported as the conditions for the purchase of 60% of TT by VA, was that TT be brought to profitability. This aint' gunna happen with just 11 aircraft.
Probably asking a bit much for highly experienced crews to leave secure positions until at least some sort of movement is seen in this regard.
Personally, I don't know how they(VA) are going to do it?

short flights long nights
Ok....for my 20000 hours what are they paying? I will throw in 13 years as a TRE for free...what's the offer?..I didn't think so.
Here's a guy that's almost qualified for the job .. has 13500 hours TT at 33 years of age. (So he averaged 900 hours per year, every year, since he was 18 years of age to have that amount of hours 
). Pity he doesn't have an A320 TR.

The A in Astronaut stands for Ansett... Clearly the managers are trying to recruit their ex-Ansett mates....this is what happens in the smaller companies. After a long exile the misunderstood are invited back to Australia...
