I think you missed my point. The triangle is infinitely more profitable to fly than the routes that Pussy has chosen, even in a startup situation and despite competition. There is a very good reason why Tiger is not starting up on these routes - and it's not by choice. Can you work it out?

JQ are in the same boat..If they were part of the QF FF scheme and not planning their own that may have protected them a bit...
I, for one, am not assuming that it will not be separate… I am QFF WP, and JQ sent me that bloody long quiz, had it not been for interest on AFF I would never had completed it. If JQ try to define themselves away from QFF (in Oz), they will fail!
Already I am pissed off that as QFF WP, I can’t enter the Star Alliance lounges, in ports, where JQi has deals to let in their Star Class passengers. QAN is too black & white between its brands in some places, vs. shades of grey in others! Not that (domestically) HBA or OOL passengers, count for much in the QF number crunch, but this isn’t about leisure vs. business (so many airline brands in Oz have tried and die on that division; we ain’t big enough) it’s about RECOGNITION!

Yes I can
Unfortunately you seem to be dreaming if you think they wont go on markets into or out of SYD. The greatest impediment in operating thru SYD is gaining slot times for arrivals and departures . At peak times it is already near the 80 per hour max so they have get slots that can fit with the LCC reqmnts to maximise aircraft utilization.I think you flatter yourself and yr company thinking they may be scared or anything DJ/JQ or QF will do.The limp response to tiger pricing by JQ and no response by DJ just lets Tiger build
a customer base and great publicity. Continue to pay no attention as they expand and you may as well canx those orders for new planes ,you wont need them...your customers will be flying with someone else

Clearly the answer to my question was "no".
I'm not flattering anyone that Tiger will be scared of anyone's competitive response - that's your interpretation. Thanks for the warning to pay attention - I don't know why we hadn't noticed Tiger until now. I'll just go shoot some staff to wake the others up.

man im still no closer...only things i can come up with egarding why theyve started up where they have are using underutilised airports with lower fees (ROK, MKY), lack of LCC competition (PER, ASP) established base & connectivity (DRW), and established leisure market (OOL), gives them some control over flights n prices.
As for the triangle, i remember reading that AirAsia Long Haul is considering giving SYD a miss due to high fees. Could be same deal for TT. Then again, that didn't stop DJ starting on the triangle back in '00.
I got no idea...enlighten me somebody...

I think two things:
1. Extra support of the local airports where they have chosen to fly to now (and also they have chosen their Intl departure points)
2. The 'Golden Triangle' isn't that special unless you have high frequency flights.
