Anyone know why Alliance F100s are doing around 7 flights a day out of Melbourne for Tiger?

Because now that they have some of the crew trained on the 737, they don't have enough crew to man the A320. Who would have thought........

That sounds like a more accurate summation... in the old days we used to talk about the 6 P's... Proper Planning Prevents P--- Poor Performance... that simple axiom seems to have been lost... (of course in order to properly plan one must know what they are doing first).

So any progress on getting the B737 on to the Tiger AOC? Any sign of a proving flight?

Did you hear anything further than simply they were knocked back again?

Yes, 737pnf (shouldn't that be 737pm now?)

I heard a lot, but it's so unsubstantiated I can only boil it down to: not even close to being allowed to operate the 737 as they've applied for.

I guess there is a silver lining to all this, and that is delaying the penalties that they will have to pay to remove the leased A320s from the fleet. Most leases still have a few years to run.

Offsetting the 737 pilots paid not to fly and the cost of chartering Alliance F100s?

Other option is to bin the 737 fiasco and keep the Airbus. I really fail to see the point in all this mess for a token fleet of A320s, even more so that they are no longer going to Bali.

With rumoured potential new leadership changes at Virgin upcoming don't think it can be ruled out.

tig oz

okay new to this so bear with me

Thought they had transferred over one 737 and were using this for training so 3 being used and the extra for training
and they are still recruiting for 737 or are they just going through process of converting contractors to F/os through the recruitment process

Who was it from Casa that came over ?

That would be the best and most common sense option, and therefore won't happen....

However, with a change of leadership.....

Goat Whisperer - I think 737pnf is appropriate

This all doesn't make sense. 60 odd FOs and Capts being paid to do nothing; x number of FAs being paid to do nothing; 2x QQ F100s being wet leased daily; and the CEO is still sprouting positivity and massive growth ahead. TT grew 4.5% on the quarter compared to last year was the latest figure I saw.

The VA group has lost my confidence

Pretty good summary.

VA wasn't the only airline affected, it was a worldwide issue.

Surely that has to be it for CEOs of both outfits?

If that confuses them they might have a mental panic after hearing a Qantas callsign on a big white and blue 747.
