[edit] Article Cleanup

First and foremost, can editors please take care in the language they use within the article. A large majority of the information has not been finalised in relation to this company and therefore inclusions need to be written with this in mind.
Secondly, if you are adding references to this article - please format them using the appropriate citation templates. Also, if you are going to use the same reference twice - please use the ref name method. This will make life a lot easier for quite a number of people. Thanks in advance -- Thewinchester ^(talk) 15:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion about the reference method. One drawback of doing it now is that the article is in a state of flux. If a sentence with the originally named reference is deleted, then several other citations will be deleted. Perhaps this type of clean up might be considered in possibly 2 weeks or so when the article might become stabilised (or, at the very latest, after the airline starts service and a comparison can be made of promises and what actually happens).VK35 17:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] callsign

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)

[edit] Aviation Australia

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)

[edit] Duplication, omissions and ambiguities ...

A few comments:

• Have you noticed that the contents of the Tiger Airways Australia destinations page are basically a duplication of the information in the "Route Announcements" subsection at Tiger Airways Australia#History? I'm not sure what purpose this duplication serves.
• Neither that table nor this page address fares particularly well.
• ALL of these destinations are flights from/to Melbourne ONLY. e.g. Although both Alice Springs and Darwin are destinations, you can't fly from Alice Springs to Darwin (without going via Melbourne).

Hi I do agree that that huge table looks really out of place. I arent sure who changed it into a table, but I think the information was pre-existing. Will need an overhaul or something. I am considering creating a much smaller table somewhat similar to this, but highlighting the price wars as a result of each announcement. Will work on that later, but meanwhile, I think it might be prudent to clean that table up.--Huaiwei 10:57, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

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.
