Does Tiger employ anyone over the age of 22 or are they the 'Maccas' of the skies???

Yeah, the pilots :!:

Lets go back to Insurance.
Under certain protocols, your bags are already insured. Their Negligence.
Next, read Tigers onerous conditions. I'm not sure it is possible to claim before leaving airport- I got into MEL at 0015am once, and the Terminal was closed. Exactly when can you get money? - no keys no papers the exceptions go on and on. Luggage dented - no money for you see policy fine print. Unless you can prove negligence.

Ideas. There are shock devices to record abuse/drops. If one goes 'off', that and associated damage should be claimable - on say any airline.
Pity there is not an 'agency service' that bills for doing all the legwork for you. Which is why direct court actions are much more effective.

What about the moron who sparked up a ciggie on the tarmac on the way to board?? Pleaded ingnorance. Muppet.

+1

Didn't watch it, but if you're mentioning it, geez what an idiot.

Did he eventually board? If he did, he's lucky - I would've thrown the book at him (literally). In today's smoke conscious Australia, don't you think it makes sense to think twice before one lights up?

On the tarmac? he was definitely airside, but it looked more like a holding area, not tarmac, for a start dare i mention the roof and all the people milling around under the roof.

Sure the guy was a massive goose and shouldn't have lit up. but it's bad enough without trying to sex it up and claim he was on tarmac.

Look, whatever the case...

Sums it up quite well I'd say..

 

[odysseus]

Nah, Tiger threw the book at him, kicked him off, called the police. Police saw the lack of merit in the case and just gave him a warning.

To complete the saga, he flew on another airline to OOL later that day at a much higher cost.

Apparently offloading is an automatic Policy for anyone caught smoking so.

I knew cigarettes were expensive but that is a ridiculous price to pay :!:

As you say many times straitman, I think here we will have to agree to disagree.


Unless you mean literally about last minute ticket purchases, in which case you are right - they are usually ridiculous prices to pay.

To clarify.
When the Tiger staff member detected him smoking he was outside on the tarmac. When you saw him on TV he was back in a sheltered area or holding area where he had been escorted to whilst he awaited the AFP.

I did not try to "sex it up" or embelish what happened, I'm not ACA or TT.

Not sure from the story how you can conclude that he was on the tarmac. I saw a tiger staff member on a radio under cover telling someone he was caught on the tarmac. I never saw him on the tarmac. I then saw the guy talking about them all being outside waiting for a delayed aircraft that had been delayed a long time. The whole story was further described in a way that implied the aircraft still hadn't left.

The 2 sides of the story don't add up. But one thing I don't believe that even Tiger would make the pax wait on the tarmac for a delayed aircraft.

As you mentioned "I saw a tiger staff member on a radio under cover telling someone he was caught on the tarmac'
Thats how I concluded it.

Fair enough. given the contradiction with the guys story (not that I'm saying he did the right thing) I'm not prepared to accept the claims of Tiger of being perfect

To be pedantic once you have gone out the doors, and even if under a covered walkway, it is defined as 'Tarmac area' which is how that would have come about.

Wow... This Mathematician is one strange man.... arguing over a $25 excess charge sounds quite strange, unless i'm not getting the full story behind this

Update: and he flew with another carrier up to the Gold Coast, I'm pretty sure that a last minute ticket on the same day would have outweighed the $25

 

[samh004]

Clearly there was no good samaritan on the flight to the Gold Coast with the kids, as surely anyone (over 18) could have taken charge of the 9-year-old minor?

Are there many people that you randomly meet in an airport that you would ask to take on responsibilitty for a 9 year old and expect them to say yes?
