SIA has this "married couple" scheme ,whereby husband and wife cabin crew are rostered together for the same flight. In this manner, SIA is able to save hotel bills as a couple is given 1 hotel room during their stay overseas.
At one of the European stations, there was a set of cabin crew on standby duty.
Janet and Bill were the husband and wife crew and was on standby duty. Around noon of that day, Bill was called up from standby to operate a flight. He would be away on the flight and be back at the hotel by midnight. His wife Janet was not called up for flight, so she would remained in the hotel,still on standby duty till 10pm that night.
When Bill arrived at the airport, he was told that he was not required to operate the flight due to some last minute changes.
Bill was sent back to his hotel by an SIA mini bus. Bill did not want to call his wife as he wanted to surprise her. He looked at his watch and it read 5.35pm and was thinking of having dinner in an hours' time with Janet.
From the hotel lobby, Bill took the elevator to the 11 floor.
As soon as Bill reached room 1135, he took out his hotel room key and slowly opened the door.
Janet was not in the room and Bill noticed that their bed was in an absolute mess. He heard noises coming from the bathroom and someone, whose voice sounded so familiar was quivering in ecstasy.
Suddenly, reality struck Bill. It was Janet in the bath with a fellow steward called Nick. The naked couple were shocked to see Bill standing right over them. In a flash, Nick ran out of the bath and hurriedly put on his bath robe.
There was a fight between the 2 men with Janet screaming and crying.
Things were thrown around and mirrors,shelves and almost everything that belonged to the hotel were smashed.
Hotel security was called in and the 2 stewards were apprehended. There was a big commotion on the 11 th floor. It was the talk of the hotel that night and many nights to come.
At the disciplinary inquiry back home , both Bill and Nick were let off with a stern warning from the management,after they agreed to pay the hotel a sum of S$5,000 for the damages.
Not long after, Bill and Janet were divorced and Nick left the airlines.
