Union saboteur earns $10,000 a month

An prominent opposition member in cabin crew lost his seat in the last union election was so bitter that he started to badmouth and sabotaged the union.
He was caught putting in circulars spreading rumours about the union into crew's boxes at cabin control center.
Obviously,the cc union chief was unhappy with the false allegation and asked cc management to investigate the matter.
The culprit's action was recorded on cctv and actions was taken against him. He was let off with a warning.
He has since retired and I was told he went for some courses and obtained a certificate to train people in soft skills etc .I was also told this guy is making about 10k a month after his obtaining his certificate. Wah lau so good pay ah? Then crew should quit being crew and become trainers hor cos crew at most get 1/2 that guy's pay. But then are we all that capable to earn 10k a month?
Hey I got a friend who attended the same course but he didn't earn as much lah.
He told me that sabo guy must be very efficient otherwise he would earn lesser.
Can someone enlighten me cos I also want to earn 10k a month.
After all, I was a cc trainer for 30 years........

Cabin crew vs Technical or cockpit crew part 2

Following my previous article on the above , to date I have 26 comments coming from both sides. Some of the comments from cabin crew were crude. I hope these were the minority and not reflective of the cabin crew in general.
Singapore Captain was constructive in his comments and would not allowed the offensive and crude remarks to affect him. This guy is worthy of his rank.
We hope to learn more about flying from "S'pore Captain.
Cabin crew please don't be petty and uncultured. My personal opinion is that tech crew is getting better in their people skills and nice to the cabin crew in general.
Let's salute the tech crew (of course there are asses too but in the minority)and learn from them about flying and what's going on in their division.

Cabin Crew vs Cockpit Crew(Technical Crew).

Relationship between cabin and cockpit crew has never been better,I was told. During the old days, pilots were a pain to cabin crew. Pilots were demanding in terms of food,drinks and respect from cabin crew (cc). If a cc didn't introduced oneself to the capt,then it became a big issue. Cc had been offloaded from flights by capts for trivial issues. The flight ops side at one stage had even ask the company to place cc under their charge. In this manner,cc division would have to report to flight ops,in short the capts would have more authority over cc. However,the idea was thrown out because SIA knew what the capts were up to.
These days,the relationship between the 2 divisions are much better. Capts are more understanding towards cc and the daunting task they face when serving full loads of passengers. In fact,SIA resolves the issue by adding a criteria in the promotion of co-pilots to capts. The issue of getting along well with cc is also an important aspect of promotion of pilots. The pilots who are competent in their flying technicalities and abilities must also be good in crew relationship and man management skills or otherwise would not be made a capt.
In the old days,if one can fly well and sucked up to the bosses would be promoted. The aspect of human relationship was not important. That resulted in us having capts who were poor in man management.
I also found out more and more gals wanting to marry pilots even though the salaries of pilots or at least the purchasing power of their money is not as strong as before. Why is it so? The answer may be due to the better understanding and rapport between the pilots and cc.
Pilots and cc pls correct me if I have gone wrong in posting the above....thank U!
