Would have been SABRE then.

I'm hearing it's done. Possibly last week.:confused:

follow VH-VUD on fr24, still doing training flights after months and months.

Virgin Blue didn't need one tenth of the flights to get up and running from scratch!

The official CASA proving flight was conducted on the 30th of May, it consisted of TT 9122 MEL-SYD, TT 9123 SYD-ADL and TT 9124 ADL-MEL. Mock flights were flown on the 26th with the same flight numbers to prepare the crew which included a diversion to Canberra. It was all flown with VH-VUD.

I have a copy of the passenger briefing if anyone is interested.

So did they pass it?

Wonder in which balance sheet the costs of the whole excercise will be reflected. Wouldn't be cheap!

Tiger maint.
 

Virgin will be doing the maintenance for tiger after October, double the cost of the previous provider, VT engineers are on A320 courses now. Who makes this stuff up! "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Does no one in that organisation look back at what they did with the ATR's. Multiple AOG's because the engineers (all on 170k+) were, to busy, couldn't be arsed or didn't have a clue what they were doing. Watch Tigers maint costs and delays skyrocket after October.

TT's first 737 inaugural domestic RPT is Tuesday 6 Jun MEL-SYD.

Hopefully more like Utah than Omaha!:ok:

Hey mate don't work for BAE by any chance.

replacement schedule
 

So to bee clear as reading this thread it's as clear as mud

The three year date is pretty much out the window ?
And what's expected to happen with the a320s . And the staff associated with them .
Are. The a320 people expected to transfer across on a new type rating or redundant . Also what about the contractors ?

Thanks for that glowing endorsement:ok:

That'll be interesting... I've heard of delays at VA in the past because VT walk past, see a panel open (like the toilet or water) and just leave it... 'not my job'... block headed attitude (allegedly) of 'it's not my job so I'll just let the aircraft be delayed'... yet people still reckon VA is the better of the two airlines when it comes to attitude of personnel... I wonder, if the above is true.

So by your metric, the honey cart driver should close the odd baggage door or cowl if he sees it left open?

WTF????

I think you need help mate. No point going off half cocked about things,firstly you really no nothing about and secondly WTF has it got to do with you anyway.

back to topic...

it seems Tigerair have flown one 737 (VH-VUD) on a couple of days worth of domestic flights.

The two other airframes haven't flown since Feb.

No, obviously I wouldn't advocate a person not trained to do something but an engineer seeing a panel open (for which he/she is capable and trained to operate) and calling someone to close it rather than doing it him/herself and letting the flight be delayed and pax inconvenienced as a result is just being a turd, when all other functions are finished and the aircraft is ready to go.

The more appropriate action since the Engineer would be entirely capable of closing the panel would be to do it, then go and tell the driver or his supervisor that he'd left the panel open and it 'could' have caused a delay.

It would be no different to a box of amenities sitting on an aerobridge and a ground/pax handling person refusing to hand them to the cabin crew but instead calling a caterer back to the aircraft to do it. Even more ridiculous when it comes from a company that's always going on about 'teamwork' and being a 'team'.

Just commenting on a forum SRM, and I would say I am eminently qualified to do so. Why don't you wind your neck in, and as I said wait for October. 😜
