strange timing!
How peculiar the CEO (and other shareholders) would offload a big amount of shares just after a string of good news (+4 aircraft in Singapore announced on 6th Aug, JV with Thai...) and just before the sh... hits the fan! The pilot exodus was known to them, (3 month notice period!) and most haven't left yet. It may or may not be insider's trading, but what does it say about Tiger's future?

Shortage of pilots? Don't think so! Tiger will have 100's of hopefull's bashing down the doors.
The cycle will continue for many years to come.
Tiger will simple contract a few TRI's and TRE's on the "big bucks" to keep the training and checking steady. All while the rest of the rank and file are being screwed!
Tiger are smart, as are all the carriers these days. You will all feed off other peoples misery in the end. Sad but true.
The industry is sick and the pilots working for such carriers are only trying to survive.
Good luck.

Jet's flapping wing forced down passenger flight
Discount airline Tiger scraps routes, and 'breached' safety rules
TIGER Airways is in trouble, announcing it is scrapping its underperforming Queensland to Adelaide flight routes on the same day it was revealed it "breached" air safety rules over a flapping wing. A Tiger passenger jet flew for eight months with a faulty wing before the problem was fixed and reported to investigators, an air safety report reveals,
Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators say in the report that the problem should have been reported eight months earlier when it was experienced by another pilot, forcing him to turn back and land.
In both instances the shaking disappeared when the jet was landing.
Investigators found that Tiger Airways, the operator of the aircraft, failed to comply with the Transport Safety Investigation Act by not reporting the earlier incident.

Investigators found that Tiger Airways, the operator of the aircraft, failed to comply with the Transport Safety Investigation Act by not reporting the earlier incident.
The aircraft's co-pilot, who looked out of the cockpit window, reported that "the left aileron was moving up and down continuously, and that the left wing was moving up and down through about 1m", says the ATSB report.
The flight crew then decided to divert the aircraft to Gold Coast.

Or may be, the co-pilot viewed from the passenger cabin's window.

and here comes news from philippines
Cebu Pacific, SEAir unfurl fleet expansion
Another budget carrier, Southeast Asian Airlines (SEAIR) is also set to acquire two Airbus A320 to expand its capacity, allowing it to fly to regional destinations.
Carmelo Arcilla, executive director of Civil Aeronautics Board said the board approved the Seair’s lease of two Airbus A320 from Tiger Airways.
“In 2008 we already approved the lease of two Airbus from Tiger Airways but because of the global slump the program was shelved. They’re reviving it now because the market is growing and many of our airlines are looking at expanding,” Arcilla said."
News was also confirmed from SG side, but i have no link. i thought Tiger have no spare aircraft. i wonder which aircraft will they lease out? also why team up with Seair (a small niche carrier in phils)?

-Given Indonesia's shocking safety record (mostly due pilot error) one must think how much of a risk these tight-asses running the show at Tiger are taking..... I would hate to be a passenger with an Indonesian Captain and a 250 hour cadet. Sorry-
Sounds like a racist you are mrsheffield mate. There's no need to take it personally against Indonesian pilot. Yes they had major accidents in past years, but you also find exactly the same human-error caused accidents in other countries. Should the rest of asian countries say that caucasian pilots are cowboys, dangerous drivers <which is a true fact> !!
Everyone has to start from 250 hrs in their career. I could see perhaps you started yours in jungle, thus show your reasoning skill. Pathetic !!!

Mandala pilots
To All...
Just opened my PPrune and find the best comments I've ever knew.
@ MrSheffield........thanks for your opinion about the Indonesian Pilots.
It's true that we're lack of experience for flying outside Indonesia.
It's true that some of accident happened in our country.
But you've to know, ALL PILOTS in the world don't want to get accident or incident
NO BODY wants an accident or an incident.
We can learn something from their "story". And we don't do the same mistakes.
@skycaptain 660 and airboneA320...........thank you for your support and your "fair" comments. We're really appreciated. We're gone proofed to MrSheffield, we're not A MONKEY. We're know how to read and understand the SOP, and fly the AIRBUS in a proper way .
And don't you ever forget MrSheffield,......IF you've got thousand hours now, IT WAS started from 250 hours olso. Just remember when your started with the airlines carrier.

wats wrong with a low-timer flying jet in an airline ? yes you flew in c172 back in ur time til u get 5000 hrs, as jet opportunity might be scarce back then.
put aside envy emotion to these new comers, there are some good one low-timers where others might need more time to catch up. anyway, any cadetship programme in a legacy airlines also put their low-timers pilot into jet straight away once they finish off their basic and jet training. that's the normal stuff nowadays mate ... accept it !!

Started from 250 hours in a Cessna, the appropriate place to learn, not in an Airliner.
While I agree with the above wholeheartedly, in this day, age and economic imperative, it wil happen less and less.
Anyone who has operated with Indonesian pilots, into Indonesian airports with the weather, and the facilities they have to deal with, not to mention the increasing crowded skies, will see them as professionals doing their best.
It is the responsibilty of the airline they work for to see that they are trained to a sufficient standard.
Now back to the topic.
