Hi Jenaf
 

Did you go to your training today? How was it??

hi
 

Hi everyone! I sent my resume to Tiger last week and i received an invitation for an interview on 2nd of December. I don't know what to expect as it is my first time to have an interview with Tiger. I've been to Emirates interview tho but im not sure if process is going to be same. Any advise? Anyone here going to the interview? :)

Hi
 

Hi Ladyj1

I finally can see your post now as I also got a phone call from Tiger HR yesterday. My training will start on 7th of Dec. I haven't got information from Tiger but what kind of information did they give you by email?
and how many people are in your class? I am so excited about working with Tiger.
Keep in touch!

thank you so much LadyJ1! that helps a lot! at least i dont have to worry about acting like a robot like what i had to do at emirates interview! im glad that they seem to be more relaxed than emirates! sorry i have to ask you another question..what do you have to do as a group?

Hi everyone
 

Does anyone start training on 7th of Dec in Mel??

I did it!
 

hi Nextstep and LadyJ1! Just to let you guys know that ive been selected and i start my training on Monday! Im so excited!

Hi
 

That's really good!! I'll start on monday too!! how many people came to the interview?
I have got documents but havent heard of where to go on monday...Did you know?

hi nextstep
 

i think there was about 60 or 70 people but im not sure how many people got selected. what documents are you talking about? they said they were gonna send me email regarding where and when the training is going to be held but i havent heard from them yet but im hoping they will email me on friday.

Hi
 

I haven't heard fo when and where the training will be...got deed and stuff...

hey
 

Thanks LadyJ1! Hope to see you soon..

Nextstep: got the documents today but nothing about the place and time hopefully they'll send me another email.

Well they better start hiring more, they seem to be canceling and get mass delays due to no crew, just like the events of 2008 are occurring all over with nobody to fly.

No overnights is a huge plus, but some very late finished, as in 2am. Better than red-eye flights or Virgin's crew who spend half their time away or paxing all over the nation.

Any Tiger Crew
 

Hi guys,
I have been offered a cabin crew position with Tiger (training start Jan 4th) but am hearing so many negatives re times, duties,conditions, etc.
If there is any current Tiger crew out there - what are they REALLY like to work for ??
I don't want to start flying , find out its not worth it then have to pay back the training fee.
I have a friend who is crew with VB and has said not to take it, but then that could be just him - I don't know!!

Any info would be much appreciated.

Tiger Conditions - beyond the headlines
 

Congrats on the offer!
Feel free to send me a PM.

extra hours
 

Have been hearing a bit about Tiger crew working well over/past their rostered hours.
Can anybody tell me if these additional 'overtime' hours are paid extra or do you still receive the same amount of pay regardless of how many extra hours you work.

Also, thanks crazywogboy for your email, all information appreciated.

over time
 

you are paid very generously per hour of flying. Also known as, flight pay. So if you are rostered, say 10 hours of actual flying, excluding sign-on, pre-flight briefing, you are paid flight pay for these 10 hours, and that's it (above your full-time salary of course). Beyond that, forget it.
So if your flight hours are rostered as 90 per month, and you actually 'fly' 110, - great! Put the extra 20 down to good faith.

Could be worse, you could be unemployed or working in a boring role.

Tiger does offer the opportunity to fly. You just need not be be a princess thinking you're working for Thai or Cathay - ain't gonna happen.

All the best!

fact or fiction?
 

Not quite..8 out of 15 in one group..

car parking
 

Thanks for all that info flyperth.I'm sure I heard during the Assessment Day that the car parking was $70 per year..?

I heard per month too, bit cheaper than catching the Skybus.

re car parking costs
 

I can tell you all now that it is $70 a month .. I have a few friends that work there..

you will also pay for uniform alterations, shoes,cabin baggage..

also the cost of purchasing your ASIC and your drug screening test which you need to start training..

all that should be explained to you I would imagine..
