Tiger Airways employing
 

Just want to hear from the guys at GOGAT, what its really like to fly there?

I see the latest on AFAP is they are looking for drivers.

I just need to know weather it's worth going for.. and ultimately leaving my stable job to join Tiger.

Inside information only thanks :ok:

You won't be able to afford the booze to be "Too pi55ed to drive" You'll probably be "Too tired to drive"
Hang on...... "Too tired to catch the bus" ...... Hang on, bus tickets are about 4 dollars right?...."Too tired to walk home":}:}:}:}:}:}:}

bbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks to those who are PM'ing me with some great and useful info
Cheers :ok:

Is the interview process the same as any other domestic carrier?

Simcheck psych test and the like?

Crew meals anyone?

Just how bad are the conditions?

Another Tiger thread that turns into a Sh!tslinging match

Great Help Guys :D

Depends how good your current job is. If you're flying a C402 it would be worth the move, If you're captain on a G550 with good T&Cs, unless you really want to fly an airliner, probably not.

What's this about a 10% pay cut (or is that just in Singapore?)
b.

Is it true that their pilots pay for their own airport parking? :hmm:


Is it true that the Flight Centre guy flys for Tiger? :hmm:

Is it true that "sometimes you bite the tiger and sometimes it bites you"? :hmm:

Is it true that "on time performance" is something that only "other airlines" aspire to? :hmm:

Is it true that they only have one flyable aircraft & that the others are static displays, made of papier mache and bits of wire and painted with dulux "factory second's" paint? :hmm:

Yeah it's all true except for the Dulux paint.

It's Wattyl.:ok:

G'day,

Would anyone knows who to contact at Tiger for a DEC position and what the terms and conditions are? thank you in advance.

Ps: I am after some REAL info, not crap from frustrated pilots.

What? Too good to be an FO?? Get in the que like everybody else Sonny Jim! :suspect:

It would help if you knew someone inside, otherwise apply via the website. T&C's are a little rough to some, but Pay is not that bad. Overnights are minimal with only 1/2 red-eye scheduled flights a week so you are home most nights starting early Oct.

If you have to pay for your own uniform does it matter what kind of uniform you buy?? What a laugh The Joker in the cabin and Batman and Robin up front that will teach them to make you pay for everything..How much do you pay per hour to work for Tiger??

If anyone does have there conditions could they please post them for all to see..

Cheers

DECs should be taken on only if there are no FOs suitable for upgrade at the time. Many of the DEC in Tiger AU were previously Captains in Tiger SIN and therefore had a known recent history, some were also ex Ansett or had flown in Australia before and had the required licence/passport.

New start ups always need DECs but at the moment you'd be behind the suitable F/Os and those coming from Singapore. Unfortunately it's an employers market at the moment.

QATAR or ETIHAD for DEC possibly early next year but worth getting the application in now.

email for TR recruitment is pilotcubs at tigerairways dot com

Hi Metro man,

"DECs should be taken on only if there are no FOs suitable for upgrade at the time'.....

Well I guess they don't have enough "suitable FOs" since they are advertising for DEC :cool:

Before you mention QATAR or ETIHAD, go to the F****** Middle East and take a look for yourself....I have!

Cheers

that'll teach me for asking an honest question on pprune....

:bored:

Fair enough then but worth considering:
1. Pay for your own rating. Easier for a DEC with previous Airbus experience to go straight in to the left seat, your profile says B744.
2. Got an Australian licence/passport already ? If not consider how your work visa application will go with a fair number of Aussie pilots unemployed.
3. Low cost, therefore IF you're in a full service airline expect a bit of a surprise when it comes to the terms and conditions.
4. Main base is Melbourne, secondary Adelaide possibly others in the future. Do you really want to be in Melbourne when you could live in nicer places such as Doha or Abu Dhabi instead ?;)

This is a joke right?
