    Umm how is this a bargain , better for the forums or competitions

    Good effort with the amount of information though

    6Am till midnight@ an airport , that is a long shift for anyone.

    A bargain……for Tiger Airways that is.

  • "All talent must be prepared to jump in a swimming pool fully clothed, possibly several times as requested."

    The ad better be in Gold Coast !

      Having been an movie extra - required to be wet a lot of times around this time of year, it is not much fun - even in a "warm mystery destination" or the Gold Coast!! But good experience, pay, day out, and $200 Tiger voucher.

    Sounds good but i am not too sure about this bit "All talent must be prepared to jump in a swimming pool fully clothed, possibly several times as requested."

  • +2

    Sounds like fun. But what happens if more than 180 people turn up? First come/first served? I bet there's also a criteria that only the best looking and photogenic people will be chosen.

    • +2

      for sure more than 180 people will rock up…

      whats the going rate for movie extra's? more than $200/day in vouchers I would guess?

        Payment will be made at the appropriate rate specified in these terms upon signing of the standard Release Form.

      The demand for places will be the main event - free advertising for Tiger!
      The paid ad will be just to back up the free promo from this competition.

        normally you'd have to pay a casting agency and sundries for 200 extra's. Now you basically pay nothing as the vouchers will be used up on empty seats in a plane.

        Tiger is basically saving 100k easy here.

  • This appears to be a cross between a job and a competition. Interesting topic, moved to forum.

      Sure is a competition, but most importantly for poor Tiger - great FREE ADVERTISING in social media & forums like this. Main stream media will lap up selection process & fun day out - a ready made reality show.

        This ad idea is better than Tiger's airways TV show, which often showed customers fuming at staff because the customer turned up 10 minutes late or the flight was canceled.

        • Actually from experience working at a local competitor airline…the Tiger tv show actually did wonders for educating joe blow public about the standards they need to adhere to for air travel.

          From someone who has travelled extensively for the last 20 years before all these low budget airlines I can tell you, people these days treat catching a plane like catching a bus…if you are 10 minutes late you are holding up 180 other people who managed to adhere to the rules and show up on time.

          Why anyone thinks they are that special and that their $39 ticket somehow entitles them to be an exception i will never understand.

        Tiger would like you to beleive it is a competition, this is how they get out of using things like insurance etc

        Personally i dont see how this is good for anyone, unless of course you really want 200 tiger dollars?

        Wonder what happens when you jump in the pool and get pnuemonia or crack your head on the pool (yes i have watched funniest home videos more than once), will Tiger help you then , doubt it if you have signed the waiver.

          Hard to avoid insurance & liability as it clearly states a fairly normal employment practice:

          Payment will be made at the appropriate rate specified in these terms upon signing of the standard Release Form.

          The competition is for the places in this promo.
          The more demand for places, the more Twitter/Facebook/etc will promote it. Add videos of people campaigning for the job.
          This will give far more FREE publicity for Tiger than the paid ad ever will.

          It links Tiger with desirability, the "warm mystery destination", youth, social media, warm wet bodies, (sex), fun!! Rather than dangerous (in a bad way), unreliable, cheap & undesirable.
          Follow that up city by city, and its a great campaign idea.

    Go with us on a one-day adventure!

    That could be a very long day with Tiger's track record! :p

  • I am in if I get to slide down one of those emergency slides into a pool where I can then swim up to a pool bar.
