Que Pasa Cabron Manflex69..
I agree with your opinion my friend..let's take a look back for awhile..
maybe MrSheffield was so jeolous with Indonesian pilot cause they can jump on into Jet aircraft with only 250 hrs flying time or maybe he still didn't get any job till now or no company will hire him as a pilot cause of his biggga mouth in his face..
@MrSheffield ..: I've come from 250hrs student pilot in Texas.USA,jump into Copilot Boeing 737-200 and i'm proud that i've passed my interview with Air Hongkong,I was accepted into Flysama(which i didn't take it) and last time on 2007,i was accepted with Qatar Airways as Copilot Airbus 330(which i didn't take it...again)..did you happy now biatchhh !!!

Mr. Sheffield

I came from a background of general aviation. I started on the ATR 72 at around 500 hours and then was an FO on A320 at about 800 hours. Flew ATR to 747-400 and now a Capt. on B777 for a major Airlines based in the middle east.

It"s not quantity but quality of the time and training.

How many layover does Tiger have in a month and how stable is the roster.

Thanks

Tiger recruitment

I see that the new application form is for the A320 type rated pilots only, is there another form for the self sponsored experienced multi crew. The link for terms and conditions outlines the self sponsored type rating costs but no indication of how to apply. Any Tiger crew out there with info?

AirAsia has all kind of people flying for them. They never have shortage of manpower. They train people from 250 flying hours right from the beginning

I think this is incorrect info with Airasia

330s coming to Tiger!

The A330 rumour is doing the rounds again, I have heard it from a few semi-sensible mouths in recent weeks. Even heard the CEO has a 330 on his desk painted in Tiger colors!

It would make sense, the SQ 330s that Airbus lent them will be free soon as the 787 hits town. Also Airasia X and J* have proven there are big profits in low cost long haul.

Get the Samsonite’s dusted off, I can feel a Toulouse type rating coming on, however knowing Tiger it will be a 1 day CCQ in Borat's motherland.

Does anyone know anything? I wonder if it will be seniority based, or maybe a lower package then the 320 like J* is trying to pull off?

Rumours

Hi,

I've heard "rumours" that Tiger is in some kind of trouble with CAAS with their recently recruited pilots from around the region. Apparently, their standards were found wanting. As a result Tiger has delayed line training for the 200-hour pilots they took in a few months back. Also they will not be taking in anymore 200-hour pilot for the rest of the year?

Can anyone confirm this? I'm a fresh 200-hour pilot and would like to apply for Tiger. No news from them so far.

cruisecruiser... I heard that too. I here that any job offer will only stand if CAAS will grant you a Singaporean licence and CAAS have stoppped giving them out to 200hr non CAAS Integrated people or forced Tiger to increase their requirements (whilst 1500hrs has always been the official requirement, I know of many who got in with a lot less - as low as 200 as you say).

Besides... online application says something to the effect that, 'don't expect to receive a reply if continuing with the online application whilst not meeting the hours requirements'.

Tiger soaring to new heights?

The pilot shortage is definitely under control, with 15 departures out of 33 cancelled today... go Tiger!

Johnlenon forgot to mention oversized ops and training departments busy preparing for the new fleets, regulatory approvals received yesterday...

Cruisecruiser : get real!

crisp,

DONT WORRY.TIGER CEO AND MD CHALLANGED THE PILOTS TO LEAVE THE AIRLINES WHEN THEIR PILOTS PLEAD TO THEM NOT TO CUT THEIR SALARY FEW MONTHS BACK.

TODAY,HALF OF THE PILOTS ARE GONE/LEAVING AND NUMBER IS STILL COUNTING.

NOW TIGER IS OFFERING GROSS S$23000 PLUS FREE RETURN AIR TICKETS FOR CONTRACT PILOTS/OUTSIDERS TO CREW THEIR AIRCRAFTS BUT THOSE LOYAL PILOTS WHO HAVE STAYED WITH THE AIRLINES ARE BEING SCREWED FOR GETTING ABOUT S$5000 LESS THAN THE CONTRACTORS.


THOSE PILOTS WHO HAVE STAYED SHOULD ALL RESIGN AND RE-JOIN TIGER AS CONTRACT PILOT FOR EQUAL SALARY.

ALSO,THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THESE OPERATING ENVIROMENT.WOULD YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY ON THEIR AIRCRAFT?

THINK IS TIME FOR CAAS TO LOOK INTO TIGER'S OPERATIONS.

Re: New Contracts

So let's get this right. Parc and Wynnwith unknowns on up to $23000 a month. Original contract guys, some of whom have given the company five years of service on about $18000 max, new contracts with the long term incentive and the poor (literally) folks from Indonesia on US$3500 ... and now Tiger are re-hiring those who've already resigned on Parc like salaries without paying the Parc like fees for doing so.

15 or 16 cancellations today due lack of Captains and they still only offer 1.5 times the flight pay to show up on a day off. Channel News Asia 'cancellations due aircraft u/s' is not even funny.

cruisercruiser : good luck with the job search, I don't know their current requirement, but there certainely has been low hours guys previously.
However, the training department (what's left of it) is a tiny bit overstreched at the moment to consider ab-initio; they want guy ready to hit the road so to speak.
I meant get real, they are not in a position to take new aircraft types even if they wanted to!
(just realised you didn't write about the new aeroplanes, I was refering tonp727f's post)

Johnlenon : I am not worried... I am gone!
