Tigerair fleet change to B737.
Thread Starter
Tigerair fleet change to B737.
The other threads centered around the Bali debacle appear to have been removed. I thought the fleet change warranted a new thread of its own.
Can anyone shed any light on where the recruited guys are at? Are they doing type ratings, going to the A320, being let go?
Basically what is happening with regard to the change to 737? If in fact it is still happening.
Tigerair Australia to switch from A320 to 737 over next three years | Australian Aviation
Tigerair Australia to add fourth 737 to fleet in December | Australian Aviation

They never recruited externally onto the 737, it never got that far.
The whole Virgin Australia operation is in the air at the moment. There has never been more chances of the leader being shown the door. With that hopefully comes some actual common sense in holding onto the Airbus operation.
They have lost alot of good and experienced Airbus drivers already.

Tiger Air certainly did recruit onto the 737 externally.

Yes they recruited - or went through a process.
The Q is: has anyone been offered, and signed, a contract??
Oh - and a fixed, confirmed start date??
Cheers.

Yes, quite a few contractors have been recruited onto the 737 and have been thru the type rating and started. They just aren't doing much ATM.......

I guess there should be progress getting the B737 on the AOC then?
Seems like the timing is off if they are sitting around doing nothing.

The removal of the Tiger A320's is part of the group fleet simplification plan.

So, grab a Virgin 737, paint it into Tiger colours for a few months until things go pear shaped then paint it back into a Virgin for a while until it's time to repaint it back into a Tiger again?!
What a blast for the paint companies
Would love to know how much money and downtime has been spent on paint!
How much does it cost to paint a 737 anyway? Anyone?
Presumably the old paint has to be removed first to maintain payloads? I'm assuming it's hundreds of kilos of paint involved? No idea...
