Tiger to Bali

[B772]

BNEA320

I am surprised you are not aware the A320 payload/range is no match for the B737NG.

The proposed arrangement reminds me of the AN B727-200LR in EW colours being flown by AN pilots.

[BNEA320]

so TT will employ VA pilots ?

[BPA]

No, it's basically a wet lease.

[B772]

Not a wet lease, but a damp lease.

VA a/c and pilots with TT cabin crew.

[SixDemonBag]

I prefer the term 'moist' lease

[BNEA320]

so do the VA pilots who are going to be employed by TT, know who they are ?


Or yet to be told ?

[Gas Bags]

bne320 I think you need to google what wet lease means

[morno]

Are you stupid BNE320?

There will be no Virgin pilots employed by Tiger. Virgin pilots will wear Virgin uniforms flying Virgin aircraft painted in Tiger colours.

How hard is it?

[BNEA320]

suspect it will be new hires on lower pay

[BNEA320]

define VA pilots ? Couldn't they be hired by 3rd party hire company ?


It's all about getting costs down, just like QF/JQ.

suspect it will be new hires on lower pay

Most definitely! Tiger was recently scouting around Archerfield and Bankstown for likely candidates for the 737 operation!

[BNEA320]

wonder who will actually employ these 738 drivers ?

[Capt Basil Brush]

BNEA320, the pilots will be Indonesion based surplus Lion Air pilots
The main criteria is the pilots hired must not have had more than one total hull loss.

That will really be keeping costs down 👍

Is BNEA320 really Flyboat ?.??

[porch monkey]

Twin brother.

[RATpin]

[BNEA320]

are there any current VA drivers out their who've been told they are now flying for TT come March ? Be interesting to find out.

[BNEA320]

actually shortens 1/2 brother but not as corrupt.

[morno]

I don't know why I'm bothering, but anyway....

320, what part of Virgin Pilots don't you understand? Why would they all of a sudden be flying for Tiger? Why do they even need to be flying for Tiger in your mind?

The village idiot's last post indicates that their understanding of Australian defamation legislation is on a par with their insight into the aviation industry.
