As the global recovery picks up, staff will always leave inferior airlines like Tiger.
If a fraction of the predicted need for aircrews over the next few years eventuates (as detailed in Flight International recently), the Tigers, Ryans and JetStars of this world will struggle to man their flights. They only have themselves to blame.

yes apparently when they approched a recruiting agency for my pilots, they were politely told to piss off as Tiger is paying 30% below average wages and no-one in their right mind would apply for such terrible conditions!!

Pay cut....humm...that is debatable. Line pilots got a pay cut and they felt it.
The cash out he got from the IPO could cover any pay cuts for years to come....
Not saying that he didn't deserve it thou. Putting up with the homo mgmt lobby and a Training Manager with a Napoleon complex was not easy...

You've got pilots dropping like flies in Singapore and Cabin Crew walking in Australia 
The paycut was introduced quite a while back, no union so they had no choice. At least the guys in Oz have a union and are only putting up with Management whose antics are just amusing than anything else.
Time to hire a new MD for Singapore, she is a bloody joke to the industry.

Ms Tay is capable. 
My Singaporean friend submitted job application late last month. He supports Tiger and not worry about the pay.

Heard on the grape vine a lot of people leaving Sin for HKG.
Kind of heard the same thing today, that up to 15 guys are leaving.
Also new Chief Pilot in the house according to my sources

Flights being cancelled due to lack of Captains. Current terms well below the going rate given the high cost of living in Singapore so considerable difficulty in finding replacements. No housing, school fees or tickets home
Management are reviewing the package at the moment so put your name up if interested but avoid committing until the new offer is made known.
Age not a problem with 65 retirement and the need to balance out the inexperienced f/os.
Don't join expecting to move on to Singapore Airlines, only Silk Air pilots can join directly in Singapore, others must come from abroad. Five years in Tiger before you can join Silk directly, then at least four before moving up.
Note requirement is for RATED AND EXPERIENCED CAPTAINS. F/Os currently surplus, only a senior A320 f/o with the numbers for a quick upgrade is likely to get a look in.
