Putty Cat is in CBR tonight, anyone know why? Weather diversion (MEL) or some variety of proving flight?

melbourne closed and then large delays
 

Chaos reigns as commuters race home during wild storms in Melbourne | Herald Sun
I'd suspect a weather diversion

Very big storms over Melbourne this arvo/evening.

Most went to CBR and I heard one was going back south to Tassie. One QF 767 went to AVV, SQ was holding for ages, not sure where they ended up.

Surprised the Tiger jet didn't go to AVV as they still have all their stuff there.

Does anyone has some more information about the current hiring procedures?

How many people do they need, on what term and which base, etc

thanks in advance!

There IS only ONE base. Melbourne.

Given that their route structure is about 30% of what it was before the grounding it would be doubtful they will be hiring pilots anytime soon.

Too many bad memories at AVV Poppa ;)

Icarus,

Can you explain me, for what all the agencies are hiring for Tiger in this case?

TT
 

Agencies are recruiting for Tiger SINGAPORE (not OZ) :cool:

...FYI for a Singapore Licence conversion 500hrs on type is now required.

Who the hell would ever want to work for that ratbag outfit?

Tiger airways crew may sue over unpaid wages.

Guess they'd be the same kind of people I see lining up to fly with them still, Slash:ugh::ugh:

Was told today that apparently Strategic have been bought out by SQ, and that Tiger will be rebranded Air Australia

Now that would put the cat amongst the pigeons...

Really?
What would SQ actually be buying? What assets do Strategic own? An AOC and some furniture. Isn't everything else leased?

Yeah that makes sense. Repaint the fleet, new uniforms, new marketing etc but at least they can say we were never grounded, not us, that was Tiger. They are burning cash as it is.

I would think the aircraft leases would also have to be taken over by SQ also, anyway just what I was told the other day make of it what you will:cool:

Tiger trying to be smart asses again and the ACCC jumped on them again


Corrective Notice
On 10 August 2011 Tiger Airways issued ‘An open letter to all Australians from the Tiger Airways team’. This letter included the statement ‘Since we haven’t been flying, our competitors have raised their fares by more than 30%’.

Following an investigation by the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Tiger Airways acknowledges that it did not have a proper basis for which to make this statement and as such it may have contravened the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) by making a false or misleading representation.

Tiger Airways would like to retract this statement and apologises for its conduct.

Anyone from CASA able to explain if/when Tiger will be able to expand their services beyond 22 per day? I'm sure some of the displaced QF pax would like another option for travelling during their disruptions.
Anyone... hello...???

b.

And further to the above post, will Tiger now be allowed to increase their flights due to the grounding of QF or is CASA still saying "No, no, no... not yet"???
If ever there were a time when more a/c were needed Australia wide..... is now not that time???

I have a feeling any hope of Red rat/Jetstar/Qantasia being a huge success have just been knocked on the head

I think SQ has learnt a lot about LCC in the past few years and I think scoot might just be what SQ is looking for

Watch out Alan Joyce. You have targets on you
