Jetstar Captures Tiger Executive

[Ansett]

Tiger Airways chief to join Jetstar ranks

Cant see what the impact will be but was interesting to note that he is charged with increasing customer service, safety and revenue. Have thay all been bad till now?

Compared to Tiger these have been great (but a very very low bar)
How much did Tiger lose last financial year ?

Not as Much as QFi lol

QFi is not a seperate entity that could lose money - the Qantas Group lost money by grounding itself and spending hundreds of millions on it's transformation programs.

Interesting he will serve out notice at Tiger, then straight to JQ with no non-compete clause. That may have been a bit short sighted when Tiger signed him on....

Yes interesting. But I guess Tiger doesn't seem to have a complicated or particularly innovative strategy (ie. as far as airlines go it's akin to a commodity supplier), and new routes are never really sprung onto the market, they usually need a few months advance sales, and JQ if they wanted to could probably react pretty easily anyway. Plus Tiger doesn't compete - and given Scoot's establishment, probably never will - with widebody/med haul routes that he will be in charge of at JQ.

Hmmm, looks like a loose win situation here, Jetsar looses and Tiger wins.
