TT 737 Fleet
 

I'm hearing all 737 fleet for TT and getting added to VA pilot list any truth to this ? and if so what's the benefit for anybody either in VA or TT ?

No and No......

Yes and yes.

Ha I would like to see this happen, tiger guys will hate the thought of VA FO taking their commands.

If it did happen, why would it be any different to the 'Y' integration lists previously used. Each side is then protected and new guys are at the bottom of both lists.

Benefit? Ask the VARA F50 guys.

The joint list allows people to move around as life and needs change. What seems unpalatable today turns out to an be an option tomorrow. You never know what can happen in life or where you might end up.

But by far the greatest benefit is when a fleet/company is scrapped and redundancies are looking likely. With a joint list it's unlikely someone more qualified (type rated and current) will be hired from outside whilst you are on the phone to your bank manager.

Unpredictable industry, having options is a good thing.

Expect an announcement shortly on A320 and A321neo.

A321LR is going to be a great machine, especially Aus-Asia.

Really? Haven't VA already ordered a bunch of MAX's? Or do you mean more 320's for TT and no consolidation between VA/TT?

..........

321NEO? Tell him he's dreaming.

Confirmed that TT on the bottom of the list. VA pilots to have priority over TT 737 positions.

Happy Christmas

Ha, wind up alert.......

You got it right....va dreaming....

Aren't the TT 737 flights flown by VA pilots anyway?

not for long aparently

So you are saying VA has finished its fleet review. You are saying that TT will become an all 737 Fleet.
So when will VA take over the maintenance of the TT fleet?
When will VA take over operational functions? Example: MOC?Planning?Scheduling? etc?
Will VA get those TT aircraft parked in Alice Springs back into service?
This sounds interesting.......

Indigo are soon to drop 12 A320s back to Tiger after the short term leases end.

These were all new aircraft, these are replacing end of leases in Singapore and Australia.

My bro is a VA Captain flying TT (737) aircraft for the time being. The problem is apparently lack of TT crew interest in converting to the 737. He's not too concerned, enjoys his Bali jaunts as you would!

Lack of interest no surprise....

Majority of Tiger Pilots are heavy on Airbus Time, would probably be more attractive options in Asia than sinking to the bottom of the 737 list.

A330 opportunities would probably change that...

Apparently it's written into the Tiger EBA that existing FOs will have command priority to guard against expansion and amalgamation. The FOs are looking at a very rosy future indeed! Good luck to them.

Where is BNEA320?

So when will VA take over the maintenance of the TT fleet?
