Lukas - you need to refer to the DOTARs reporting to understand how OTP reporting actually works.
It works off a % of flights - therefore fleet size doesn't disadvantage (or advantage) the operator.
DOTAR's also produce stats on individual airlines operations on particular routes & our of particular airports - it's very easy to identify issues.
Given that SYD presents the most OTP challenges to domestic operators (both due to CTMS delays & flow changes due to single runway or other operational issues), Tiger is actually immune from a large OTP thorn.
I highly doubt Tiger could suffer a "record low" OTP result - especially given the results DJ/QF experienced last winter due to weather issues - if they are lower then that, when they don't operate from SYD, have a fair bit of operational flexability, a small fleet size & the weather has been good - then they'll be up the creek once winter hits, they get a few more planes & start flying to SYD!!
A little bit of research before posting doesn't go astray....
