As we speak there is a Virgin 737 being painted in Tiger Air colours. Not sure when it's due to leave the hangar but so far it looks good. Hopefully get some pics tomorrow Maybe Tiger have seen the light and heard the saying "If it's not Boeing, it ain't going"

I think they are going to be doing the Bali run , don't quote me , but that's what I've heard big fella .

This may answer it for you Paul.

Word is that the Virgin 737 drivers are NOT comfortable with this development from an Industrial perspective. And I can see why. Down the track.....Virgin 737 drivers on a Tiger Award, that's a dicey precedent to set .

What a crappy cut throat industry it has become .

Yep....commitment and staff loyalty counts for nothing these days in the cut-throat, take-no-prisoners airline industry . I was fortunate in that I experienced the industry at it's best......but that was a long time ago.

This is due out of TSV at 1300 tomorrow. Might have to go get some pics me thinks

pics as Promised. It looks great I reckon. Best I visit Graeme's Model Emporium for another 737-800

That does look nice. But I think that design still sits nicer on an A.320.

Ray, it's not only happening to the aviation industry, it's happening everywhere. Once the accountants started running things and the captains of industry decided that their paychecks were more important than the lives of the people who work for them, it's all been going down the gurgler. That's one of the reasons I left the Department of Aviation back over twenty years ago, we were no longer serving the industry or even the public interest, we were serving whatever bunch of economists were running the government that was running the country. It still annoys me after all this time, so let's not get started.
