No I dont think so, if you applied on the 15th that would have been too close to the last interview date so they are probably just holding onto it til the next interview session! They said the next ground school would be in March giving them enough time to recruit again!
wondering if anyone can confirm?

The Recruitment for the Melbourne base for Tiger Airway's is on the 19th of May you have to apply on line to Altara they are Casual positions I hope that helps.
I believe the next Ground school for Tiger will be in June as I have mentioned already Altara are handling the Casual Cabin Crew best to send the CV's into Altara or just apply to Altara before 19th May to try to get into the interviews comeing up.

Hi there
Congrats on getting through. I did a jetstar one last week and was unsuccessful. They weeded from 48 to 20 applicants and I was one of them for the final interview. I was the only one of the two males in the final round so I was real nervous haha.
I had so many bad expereinces with Tiger airways. 3 hour delay last week and the other day was 2 hours delay and a few weeks back it was cancelled :/
I guess I should apply for tiger airways as it's a good start in the aviation industry! Once again well done

RELAX
... Just RELAX and be yourself. You get examined on a multitude of things, is really just a matter of committing things to memory. I started my cabin crew career when i was 39, and was shyte scared i hadnt studied since uni, like almost 20 years before. Main things you need to learn ( which they will give you at the beginning of training) are your cabin prep drill, and cabin evacuation drill. There are about 8 steps in one of the drilld and about 11 in the other. It took me afes to learn them, they had to be word perfect, as well as having to learn the over wing briefing which had to be word perfect practically as well. The good thing is that you dont get examined on these 3 components until the final day, so you have plenty of time to learn them. Final exam comprises of multiple choice and some written components, ie, wat is the announcement the captain makes for certain situations. It was a bit more arduous and thorough than my current airlines exam process, but hey, you really gotta know your stuff. You also get examined on fire drills, decompression and your doors at the Qantas centre. Thats when you get examined on your door commands, and the evacuation drill.
It sounds all daunting i know but if you work & study every night then you will pass. Trust me, it is a lot of study and hard work in a short timeframe, however once you have learnt it all, well it all comes together and sinks in.
When i started training at my new airline, a lot of the training was quite easy, the biggest and hardest thing to do is relearn your door drills, which does put experienced cabin crew at a disadvantage in my opinion because you have learnt the door drills from your first flying job, and they are usually the ones that have sunk in, and because their are usually just subtle commands that are different, it is very hard to "unlearn" your original commands. Anyway im jumping the gun a bit. My advice is that you just have to study pretty hard for the 4 weeks of training, its only 4 weeks, and keep refreshing after you have got through GS, because you always have your morning briefing before you get on the plane, and if you dont know your stuff they can stand you down, so its good to keep learning, and refreshing (ie, read your manual regularly).... Goodluck, if you got through uni you will breeze through it

Tiger MEL
I just got an email for a recruitment day this Thursday (it must have been 6 months since I applied).
Is anyone going along? Didn't think they'd need more CC at the moment

Hey, I didn't go in the end. I'd applied so long ago & it just wouldn't have worked out for me at the moment (mainly that I haven't budgeted for the first three months without pay, I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage).
I went to a Tiger RD about this time last year & got through (with an enormous amount of others!), but they didn't end up putting us all into GSs.
Did they say when planned GS are?
Good luck! Hopefully not too long to wait!

Looks as though Tiger is recruiting again too, a new link has appeared back on the website for the Melbourne base.
Seeing as it is through Altara, is anyone aware of the award/ pay scheme, other details the same as it is for Jetstar?

I've applied for Melbourne too, I am keeping all of my options open! Last week I caught up with a friend who does CC for Tiger. She didn't specify the hourly rate, but I did find out that Tiger do not get any penalties or loadings, nor do they get any sort of public holiday rates. It is a flat rate all year round, regardless of whether you work christmas etc She also said you get a $5 meal allowance per shift, but you have to pay for your own parking which comes out of your pay. I also wanted to know the same as you - if Jetstar and Tiger have the same rates because they're both done through Altara. But she said most-likely not, because Altara is a recruiting company but they do need to apply each individual airline's conditions still. I think Jetstar would probably have somewhat better pay because they are a sub-group of Qantas, unlike Tiger who are totally seperate and are a true budget airline. Hope this helps

Altara.
I used to be cabin crew with Tiger thru altara. The pay was something like $24 an hour and then after 1hr of flying it went up $10 per hr. No sick leave pay or annual leave etc. But the money was good. We were all working fulltime and making decent money.. also when you are delayed, you still get paid whereas the fulltime crew didnt.
I could be wrong but I am fairly sure that the pay would still be the same.
Goodluck to you both. I really enjoyed Tiger. I hope you all do too
