Tiger pounces on AOC
 
Tremendous news, Tiger Aust have been issued Aust AOC.:D

One small request
 
Can I just ask that Australian aviation "journalists" (and Ppruners too) dispense with the cat references in Tiger headlines?

When Tiger first started making inroads towards establishing in Australia, almost every sentence refering to Tiger included a phrase such as "on the prowl", "waiting to pounce", "purring" etc. The first time was witty, the rest is just overkill/lack of imagination. If I hear much more I'm just going to vomit.

PS - Don't mean to slam the door on you toolowforzero (especially on your first post)! Given that you started the thread some latitude is probably in order - just so long as nobody else gets ideas!

Icarus, it's not the fault of the Journo's. They are often under pressure from editors who tell them; "Write a story and give it some claws".

Well what do you expect; their callsign is GoCat. :yuk:

peuce 20th Nov 2007 20:13

I agree, and any offending PPruners should be given the Cat-o’-nine-tails:=

PattyStacker 20th Nov 2007 20:20

I agree... Just so long as no-one is Catty

Maybe he could be Tiger's spokes-kitty?

Icarus53 20th Nov 2007 20:51

Goddamn it.
:yuk::yuk::yuk:

I paid for that lunch!

Whatever happened to the old idiom that "All things being equal, people will comply with any reasonable request, with the exception of 'Will you please keep your seatbelt fastened until the Captain has turned off the sign'"?

Moniker 20th Nov 2007 21:28

Pundit 20th Nov 2007 22:23

JQ - little Dicko and Joycie - are about to see real competition.

Imagine if we could have competition on the Pacific?

apacau 20th Nov 2007 23:06

Love the puns, but is it confirmed anywhere re Tiger's AOC? Surely they would be trumpeting this to the media (and if not them, CASA should have released something?)

Certainly nothing yet on the searchable section of the CASA website.

ekolbregit 20th Nov 2007 23:40

It is issued. The celebration speaks for itself. :D

727ace 20th Nov 2007 23:43

GO Cats in 08
 
Lets bring another Cup back to the Cattery:D

Moniker 20th Nov 2007 23:44

CASA - efficient - quick - doesn't seem right appearing in the same line..
