it seems the airline has said different:

Tiger defies downturn | Herald Sun

Get a new Spin Doctor!
 

ADL will happen, but how long will it last?

Tiger simply need to read the Australian market a lot better, stop with the "Because the fares are low, low, low , all will be forgiven" and stem the resignations of good employee's.

Lose track of how the people you manage are feeling, and you will become history real quick!

Not all Australian's are dumb bogans. :}

New Tiger Base
 

Tony Davis, chief executive of Singapore-based Tiger Airways which is 49 percent owned by Singapore Airlines, told the conference that a slump in fuel prices has allowed the company to continue to offer cheap flights.

Crude costs have fallen by about 75 percent since hitting a record high above 147 dollars last July.
"We're bucking the trend," Davis said, referring to the falling passenger numbers reported by full service airlines.

Outside its Asian hub in Singapore, Tiger currently has a base in Melbourne from where it services the Australian domestic market and is planning to open others in Adelaide and Darwin, Davis said.

Oh dear, I can hear all the staff bags being packed as we speak. :E
