What a great opportunity for young and single crew to do a bit of paid OE

Had the more conventional one captain, one F/O on my return journey, also ZHC - Annoying! But the Easter Bunny had been to Virgin Blue that morning, so all the pax got from free choccies , so that made up for it!

FWIW it was a lighter load as expected on Easter Sunday, maybe 45 to 50 - I'm only estimating. Let's hope Liam is wrong and the service does do well over 6-12 months. Having a monopoly should allow them to make money from it, and they would make more if they could get an exception to operate just 2 cabin crew rather than 3 in the 78 seat jet.

Maybe DJ should put an ad for the HBA-CBR on their billboard at HBA, as they currently have one advertising 35 weekly HBA-MEL flights, which isn't actually correct as from a couple of weeks ago! Also, the airlines section in the local newspaper in Hobart lists HBA-CBR operated by Tiger Airways, so more advertising required!!!
