Is this list accurate [ [1]]? If so, call sign for Tiger Airways (not Tiger Airways Australia) is Stripe. What is "Go cat"? VK35 18:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Aviation Australia will be doing the training for Tiger airways - I'm quite sure of this, for reasons I'd rather not disclose lest it get me in trouble - But I'm unsure of how to referece this. Any helpful suggestions? 123.100.130.66 04:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC) (Churba)

Mea culpa!! (I created the table.) But I agree with you: "that huge table looks really out of place". What was there previously was very hard to read/analyse; the table is easier to read/analyse, but as you say, looks out of place. If you can improve it, Please do - you have my blessing.
But that wasn't my point. My point was the duplication of information in what was two sections, and is now two pages. I think the answer is ONE table which shows ALL of the information, (i.e. the routes, the fares, the announcement dates, the service commencement dates, etc.), but I don't want to stomp on anyone's toes.

I don't think the information in the table is relevant, I never seen anything like it for any other airline. Over time it is likely that it would be culled anyway... could you imagine the sheer size of a similar table for a company the size of QF or UA?? The destination list is far easier to digest, as long as future announced routes have a start date in brackets with them. Announcement dates would logically form part of the history section of the article with commencement dates being in the route section (before commencement) as well as being mentioned in the history section with the date of the announcement. Fare information changes so regularly that it would be impractible to copy it here... not to mention that it is beyond the scope of wikipedia. Other than launch fares which again could be mentioned in the entry in the history section. Have a look at the articles on Virgin Blue and Qantas for examples of what I mean.

Although nobody knows for sure at the moment, it seems apparent that Adelaide Airport will be a secondary hub for Tiger, rather than a primary hub. MEL has four A320s (equating to 720 seats) based at the airport, whilst ADL will have two A319s (equating to 360 seats) based at the airport. Until information to the contrary is available, I believe Adelaide Airport should be listed as a secondary hub. Mvjs ( talk) 12:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Matilda removed all future expansion (all cited) stating that WP:CRYSTAL states that future expansion beyond one month should not be listed as it is advertising. I can't find any mention of WP:CRYSTAL prohibiting the listing of cited, future service expansion. To say this would be to remove all future service increases and decreases from all airport articles. On this rationale, I've restored the service increases. Mvjs ( talk) 21:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

It says that there are 20 A320 currently in service and 50 ordered, that supposely was updated 31 August 2007, but wikipedia article cites it as 1st June 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elantrix ( talk • contribs) 13:05, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I have worked on a restructure of this list in
a subpage of my userpage before implementing it to the mainspace. It adheres to
WP:FL standards, whilst maintaining aspects of the
WP:Airlines guidelines. Before making any major changes, please discuss here or at the
WP:Airlines project first, thanks.

Sydney is classed as a Virtual hub considering the use of SYD-OOL flights. Brisbane is also classed as a Virtual hub due to BNE-ROK. Just because they did not come out announcing it as a Virtual hub does not mean that it is not one, so I have placed it back on the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skystar56 ( talk • contribs) 09:28, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Numerous things in the page are out of date. In particluar most of the senior staff listed were incorrect. This was corrected with only the Directors and Heads of Departments included. However someone keeps removing them, claiming I had added the "food testing guy" and "training officers". Simply untrue. Note that for the last few years other senior staff were listed; DOO, FOPS Mgr, etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.105.135 ( talk) 01:08, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Given the old paragraphs of waffle still on this page, can we not at least provide correct basic information?
I would suggest that someone who knows what goes on in Tiger Australia be allowed to update this page... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.105.135 ( talk) 01:03, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Nobody has paid little to no attention in the infobox over the past year, so I'm only cleaning it up to Wikipedia standards. Also, this article comes under the jurisdiction of the WP:Airlines project and the global Wikipedia-wide WP:Notability standards. If you see most other Airlines, they only list their Chairman and CEO/Managing Director. No other airlines list the "Head of Flight Allocations", the "Head of Food Tasting" or whatever. I do agree that someone with knowledge in the company could help the article, in the end the formatting of the article should at least be brought to standard under the WP:Airlines project, with WP:Notability and WP:References enforced for new happenings and notable people running the airline.

Is it worth mentioning in here that there is an entire TV show dedicated to people who think Tiger sucks? Pokepal101 ( talk) 11:18, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Should the show cause notice issued by CASA and the associated flight cancellations be mentioned on this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.124.89.238 ( talk) 05:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Not surprisingly, we now have this in the article...
While accurate, another perspective is that the reason for the suspension is to avoid plane crashes. If a plane crashed that many people would probably also be affected. Should that statement be modified to something like...
