Me too. I've searched to no avail. If anyone has any factual information please post it up or PM me. Thanks

Don't hold you breath, the T&C's are so bloody appalling most are too ashamed to admit they fell for them. :mad:

Yep, CNS would be a logical base to open up. They could jump off there into the pacific and s/e asia for the international ops they aspire to.

I also believe that because the incheon start up has been delayed indefinately, 5 a/c need to be re assigned elsewhere. A 3rd base could be opened sooner than we think.

Worse than Jetstar?

At least Jetstar give you a shirt and a pair of trousers. This mob is the worse paid in the country.

Just dont stand too close to a heat source in the 'provided' uniform lest it become permanent. The cost of a uniform becomes almost academic after forking out 30+K for a type rating, $600 for Jepps etc as most have.

Can anyone actually post here what the terms and conditions are at Tiger

If i recall correctly, Tiger F/Os are on $75,000 base + $32 per flying hour. Tiger pilots can do 1000 hrs per year. Thus max pay $107,000 for F/Os.

'Bogan'

I herd something hovering around 3 weeks before offer of employment transfers to pilots, CC, etc

and actual date somewhere before December...

but pure speculation... have you herd anything along those lines?

STHAUSSIE,

Sorry, i really know nothing about what these guys are planning. Just guessing like everyone else.

"Bogan"

Cheers, I'm very curious to see where they are going to tread next...:ok:

Mabye they are all just not members..

Very Close to the mark

What are the skippers actually on????? Whats the base salary, and what is/not included..( ie what are the things you have to pay for )carparking, jepss etc etc????

Pig, you pay for everything except the a/c leasing costs and the fuel.............I think :cool:

Does anyone know if TT are as yet making money?

I have heard recently, that no, not yet making money. But they are moving along better today than they were 6months ago. They might need some revenue boosters, ie Brisbane? Mabye Sydney? Cairns?

They need to get their brand out there.

Has anyone been contacted by Tiger re interviews for their coming expansion?

Must be soon!!!!!:

maryparlalis,
I found this thread which is actually discussing Tiger's expansion and Employment. This thread has many good details.

Worth a look:)

TIGER AIRWAYS has missed a second deadline to lodge its full-year accounts, fuelling speculation that the Singapore Airlines-backed budget airline has failed to reveal the extent of its financial woes.
The airline has declined to explain why its holding company, Tiger Aviation, has not lodged its accounts for the year to March 31, after already obtaining a three-month extension from Singapore's Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority in July.
The delay comes as the airline told the Herald it could postpone the delivery of a fifth Airbus A320 aircraft to Australia by two months.
Although it said last week that bookings remained strong, it declined to provide any indication of when it planned to lodge its accounts. A Tiger spokesman, Matt Hobbs, denied the airline was in trouble. "Tiger is very happy with how things are going, and we continue to fill planes in Australia and Asia," he said.
There are suspicions Tiger's 11-month foray in Australia is still losing it millions of dollars each month.
Since the Herald reported in August that its Australian operations could have lost $S28 million ($29 million) in the four months to March 31, the airline has still failed to confirm or deny the figures. The estimated loss was arrived at by reconciling the $S37.8 million profit reported by Tiger's Singaporean operations in the year to March 31 and comments made by the chief executive of Singapore Airlines, Chew Choon Seng. He told an analyst briefing earlier this year that Tiger Aviation's profit for the year was close to $S10 million.
If so, Tiger Australia - Tiger's only operation outside Singapore - would have lost about $S28 million for the period. But given the rise in fuel prices since March 31, economic slowdown in Australia and recession in Singapore, the losses could have worsened. Tiger did not say why the introduction of two Airbus A319s to its Australian fleet of four Airbus A320s had been pushed back to January.
In March the airline's chief executive, Tony Davis, said they would be delivered in November.
The airline also confirmed it could delay the delivery of an extra A320 to Australia next month to January, and would focus instead on developing new routes from Singapore into Malaysia.
Qantas's part-owned Jetstar Asia has also failed to lodge its accounts. It was given a three-month extension to lodge its full-year accounts by Singapore authorities on September 29.

Is it goodbye to Tiger Australia?? These losses are too high, I would say they just cant keep hoping they will lessen..

What on earth are they doing wrong?? Is it High Oil, Unstatainable Fares??

Who said they are doing anything wrong? Read the last para of your post.

Qantas' Jetstar Asia ALSO failed to submit its accounts. Sounds more like a Singaporean accounting issue than a real issue. Tried to get a seat on Tiger in Oz lately. Loads seem very full.

Jetstar Asia's financial situation is not all that fantastic either.

Good news for TR is as the AUD plummets to parity/below parity with the Singapore Dollar, their losses in SGD terms will be about 30% less than what it would have been 6 months ago.

Bad news for Jetstar Asia is that their losses in AUD terms are now about 30% higher than they would have been 6 months ago.
