From Sky News:

Tiger Airways has lost its second chief financial officer in less than two years, amid claims the company is struggling to retain staff in Australia.

The airline has confirmed that its Melbourne based Chief Financial Officer, Peter Negline, has resigned because he wanted to do his own thing after only eight months in the job.

The departure has raised questions as to whether there are serious differences between Tiger's chief executive, Tony Davis, and his senior management team over the direction the airline should take.

There are also questions over whether it has stretched its relatively small fleet of 12 jets too thin, as it flies across its 31 destinations in Australia, South-East Asia, India and China.

It is also believed Tiger pilots and cabin crew are leaving amid claims they are being offered more money to work at Jetstar or Qantas.
