Tips for cc wannabes

Wah lau I recently came across an e-book published by supposedly an ex stewardess to help cabin crew
hopefuls ace their interviews. It made me laugh until my sides ached. It goes like this:

"If you want to pass the cabin crew interview,you would have to possess the following:
P E E T E C K ( acronyms which I've created to make it easy for you to remember).

P means Personality
E =        Elegance
E =        English


T =        Teamwork
E =         Eloquence
C =        Caring
K =        Kindness


...................................."

Incidentally, the Senior Vice President of cabin crew is Mr. Tan Pee Teck!

Rainless day view

Rainless day view from my apartment is like this la..I know it's nutting much to see cos it's a poor man's apartment view.One consolation though,there is a field big enough to accommodate a football as well as cricket games. Then who knows hor one day, I may post a beautiful sea and mountain view from my expensive luxurious condo from Australia's Gold Coast or the Swiss Alps or somewhere more beautiful...hehehe.

Rain,rain so much rain and the kar...torn wool.

This video was taken by me from my flat lah.It was few nites ago and the rain was pouring so heavily. It was about 8pm and so dark and scary...hehehe. You see I live in a sort of a ulu area and that's why so few people and cars. The thunder and lightning which you will hear in this video was so damn loud until my eardrums almost burst....aiya luckily I did stuff some cotton wool in my ears to cushion the impact of the sound of thunder.
Talking about stuffing cotton wool in ears, I learned this from the passengers flying to India on our flights. Most of them always asked for cotton wool the moment they boarded the planes. We,the crew were at first puzzled but later learned from them that cotton wool helped to ward off the pressure acting against the eardrum during take off and landing. So you see we learned something useful from our dear passengers.

This is bad attitude!!!

Very sian going back flying

Recalling e day wen i wanted to be a flt stewardess.Was damn crazy about e job and wen got in so very excited.Look now mi so lazy to serve those paxs.

BT: Got the above from a stewardess's blog....what are your comments?

Tim Sum at S. Palace.

Went to S. Palace for tim sum with an ex stewardess who came back to Singapore for her hoilday as well as a "pretty" retired ifs. We chatted about old times and the happy memories they had whilst flying as a team under my charge.
They knew who boh tong is and in fact bought my book without even me telling them. I will autograph for them some other time when we meet agin as I didn't bring my special pen with me today.
The food at S Palace was not as good as they used to be. The carrot cakes didn't even look nor taste like they are supposed to be. The noodles were soaked in oil rather than fried in it. The char siew and chicken were soggy. We spent quite a bit,courtesy of the ex stewardess.
Had a wonderful afternoon with these two good friends of mine.

Wrong profession?

I was in the wrong profession and that's why I have a 44 inch waist instead of a 24 inch one..haha

Caviar

On a flight from Singapore to Madras,passengers ah beng and muthu were upgraded to the first class cabin because economy was overbooked.
Beng and muthu sat next to each other. When the appetiser course was being served,muthu and beng who were seated at the rear of the first class,overheard the stewardesses offering caviar to the front row passengers. "Mu what is caviar?" asked beng. "oh its one of the appetisers and I loved cavair very much" replied muthu.
A good 15 minutes had passed before the stewardesses pushed the appetiser trolley to where beng and muthu were seated. " Do you like the pate'd foe or the cavair sir?" asked the stewardesses. Without hesitation,muthu,trying to impress the crew and beng replied "oh yes I love caviar". As the crew was dishing out the caviar and it's garnishes (chopped onions,chives and chopped eye yoke)onto the plate for muthu, he quickly protested and told the crew "I want everything that you have dished onto the plate for me except the black black thing". The stewardesses much as they tried to hide their amusement,burst out into laughter.

Aiya only 10 % lah

I want to make myself very clear here that the things I blog about represent less than 10% of the crew. Therefore more than 90% of the crew are good and decent people out to make a clean living.The same goes for the passengers.

Some of my visitors asked me why don't I blog about the good crew? The answer is, it's always more interesting to know the bad ones first and they are more newsworthy. As for the average good crew, few people would want to know their stories. They are duller and monotonous.

All said,I will blog about some of the things the good crew and paxs did,albeit may be less interesting than those sensational ones.

There was this story I clearly remember about this senior steward. Let's say his name is Willy. He had been 30 years with the airlines and had been a very husband and father to his children. During his night stop at outstations,he seldom mixed with the crew. He scrounged and stinged to save every cent he earned.

Willy did not smoke nor drink but occasionally try to flirt with the stewardesses. It wasn't that the stewardesses did not like him. He was a nice man who's always there for his crew but he didn't have the "Oomph" or that extra factor that could attract the girls.

His stops from HK to Japan to London,Las Vegas,Australia and all over the world were boring and fun less. He behaved in that way so he could save all his salary to pay for his upmarket landed property which he bought many years before.

Today that house of his is fully paid and valued at S$2.5 million*. Not bad for a steward ya? But I supposed Willy must have suffered a lot because from his early 20s when he first joined the airlines till he retired a few years ago,he never once ate at a nice restaurant or buy himself expensive clothes or jackets. He would usually bring canned food, Maggi mee and ate them with bread in his hotel

room in order to save his meal allowances given by the airlines.

Willy's wife Chris was a sexy woman,working as a secretary in an Australian company based in Singapore. Chris was at least ten years younger than Willy and a bubbly,jovial and mischievous type of person. She was her boss's darling.

One day,after a long tiring flight,Willy came home and was shocked to receive a note from Chris telling him she was leaving him for her boss. In fact,she had secretly applied for her Australian PR and had eloped with her Aussie boss. They had both retired and lived in Australia.

Poor Willy! He was devastated and attempted suicide. Today,Willy has been remarried to a lady introduced by his friend and had started a new life together. I've heard he is now a much happier man but then who knows what his new wife is going to do next as she is 20 years younger than him.Besides, his young wife is a China lady from Hainan,an island off the southern coast of China!

*Willy had to sell his house as it was a matrimonial home and gave half of the proceeds from the sale to his ex wife. He sold it at a much lower price,perhaps 1.5 million less than today's value.

A deadly present

Jeff was about to go for dinner that night in Shanghai when he met a sweet angelic looking Chinese girl called Angel at the hotel lobby. She smiled at Jeff with a hint of cheekiness which Jeff loved. Angel noticing Jeff liked her, proceeded and introduced herself to Jeff.
Angel persuaded Jeff to have dinner with her. She told Jeff she knew of a restaurant nearby that served delicious Chinese food. Angel was too beautiful to pass and so Jeff went with her to her choice of restaurant. As Jeff could not read Chinese,he let Angel picked the menu. All in all Angel ordered 6 dishes of food plus two small bowls of rice. They ate and chatted happily until the bill came.
Jeff was shocked to find the bill was equivalent to about S$500. He didn't have that kind of money with him. At most he thought it would not be more than S$100.
Without saying goodbye to Angel, Jeff dashed out of the restaurant and sped away. Two big sized waiters who looked more like bouncers gave chase.
The two were too speedy for the 40 year old Jeff. They finally caught him and beat him up.
Jeff was so scared stiff and begged them not to beat him anymore. He brought them to his hotel room and took the proceeds from his airline bar sales and paid them the S$500.
About an hour later, Angel called Jeff at his room and apologised to him for "mistakenly"ordered the expensive food. But Jeff knew Angel was in cahoot with the restaurant people and out to cheat him.
Jeff pretended as though it was not Angel's fault.
That night, Jeff slept with Angel and in the process gave her the deadliest gift one could give to a sex partner.....Jeff was HIV positive!

Watches con .

Gi was a senior purser with an airline. Besides earning a decent salary from the airline,he also moonlight by "transporting" goods for some syndicates.
One of his methods of making extra $$ was to bring into certain countries goods that are ridiculously expensive because of their great demand. Gi would smuggle these goods and because he evaded paying taxes on those luxury items, he and the syndicates would profit even more.
Besides himself do the smuggling he also recruit the crew to smuggle for him. He would pay the crew an average of $150 for each expensive watch that was smuggled into places like Japan,South Korea,Australia etc.
His modus operandi was like this:
First, he would prey on crew who were hard up for money,especially the gamblers who owed loan sharks. He would also preyed on crew who were in financial difficulty.
Second, he would convinced them  it was safe to carry the items and the customs staff were "taken care of".
Once the crew agreed to his terms,he would then visit them with the goods (could be expensive watches or gold bars) and briefed them on whom to contact at the other end. When the goods were safely handed over to his overseas contact,he would bank in the "rewards" into the crews' accounts or pay them in cash when they returned home.
All along things went on without a hitch. Payments and delivery of the goods were carried out smoothly.
Then came February 1982 when Abe a junior steward got into trouble with the Japanese syndicate. Abe was to deliver 2 watches which Gi  packed into a box and handed to him. On arriving at a Tokyo hotel and after making contact with the Japanese, Abe found the box which was to contain the 2 watches empty. Of course, the 2 Japanese guys who were supposed to collect the watches were upset with Abe.
They made a few long distance calls to Gi and were told the missing watches were the responsibility of Abe.
Abe was threatened with bodily harm by the 2 Japanese men if he did not pay them for the 2 missing watches. After a long phone call to Gi and on his advice, Abe who was afraid of the harm the Japanese would inflict on him,promised to pay a $1,000 a month to them through Gi for 2 years.
Abe was also warned not to breathe a word of the incidence to the airline or anyone.

A sickly encounter.

Sue was night stopping in Johannesburg (JNB), South Africa after a long flight from Hong Kong . Sue was a stewardess with an airline based in Hong Kong. She had lived there for a good number of years.
On the second day of her stay in JNB,Sue became sick. She had high fever,accompanied by frequent vomiting. The doctors treated her with antibiotics but they didn't help. She could not work on the flight and had to pax back to HKG.
In HKG, Sue's medical situation became worse. She felt she was going to die. As a Christian,Sue thought the best thing she could do before she dies was to call for her church pastor to come to her house and pray for her.
Pastor John hurriedly drove to Sue's place after her call for help. On entering Sue's house, John felt an eerie feeling. John  had in his course of duty as a pastor encountered many ghostly or we may call them spiritual battles with the evil forces. But this one was more eerie and powerful than he had encountered before.
John spoke to Sue for a while. Suddenly, as John place his hands on Sue to pray for her,Sue started to utter something incoherently and fell on the floor with foam coming out of her mouth.
John stooped down and place his hands on Sue and prayed for her. All of a sudden, something that looked like a misty figure of a long haired old haggard woman drifted swiftly out of Sue's body and disappeared into her handbag.
John opened Sue's handbag and spot a little gem stone where he felt the ghostly figure had disappeared into. John wrapped up the little stone in a little prayer cloth and drove to the harbor. There, John said a little prayer and tossed the stone into the sea. He could see the surface of the water where he tossed the stone bubbled for a few minutes.
John quickly drove back to Sue's place. By this time Sue was up and about.
John related the story of the spiritual encounter ( all those times Sue was unconscious) to Sue. She was shocked to hear that the gem stone she had purchased from JNB was the refuge of an evil spirit.
After the exorcising of the spirit,Sue recovered and was well again. Never again will Sue buy any stone from Africa or any where else. She told her colleagues her story and some of them who had bought the stones earlier on quickly hurled them into the sea.

I have worked 35 years and yet.......

 Mind you I have worked 35 years and yet I do not complained that I was sick of my job. SIA paid for my children's school fees, our daily household expenses, our holidays every year with the free tickets, our cars, our house etc etc.  Granted, without SIA my family and I could also have survived but what standard of living we would be in? Perhaps we would live in a 4 roomed HDB flat and going to work by buses or MRT trains or both. My wife would have to work too so we could pay our HDB mortgage. Our children would not have gone to the universities because we couldn't afford them. Therefore we are grateful to SIA. Even now, I have not burned the bridge behind me. To be honest, I think SIA is a damn good employer.
The thing about me and I am not boasting is that I could have done better if I had left SIA say when I was much younger like in my 30's. I could have done a lot more creative things outside of SIA. In SIA I was restricted to follow the rules and the orders of my managers and SVPs. There was insufficient space for creativity. You merely follow the book and if you don't rock the boat and you will be fine. That's the reasons I could not get along with many of my superiors.
I don't blame Henry for swindling SIA off 35 million dollars. He had warned his bosses about the loopholes whereby a staff could exploit the meal allowances payment system and cheat the company. Sadly, Henry's warning fell on deaf ears. In the end Henry capitalised on the weakness of the system and siphoned away millions from SIA. Henry was only caught after almost 14 years in the "job" and that too  was the result of the bank officers'efforts.
Now coming back to why I never complain or bad mouth my former employer is because they paid me reasonably well, let me be a member of the sports club for meager fee of $8 a month, at a certain year paid me 6 months bonus, gave me share options, free tickets for me and my wife for life etc etc.
On top of the above, I did my own roster,flying to wherever the airline flies to, staying in 5 stars hotels, paid handsome food allowance, generous inflight incentive allowance and what have you.
Who cares whether the flights were full because I did not have to serve the passengers.
So you see I have many reasons to, in fact love SIA.
The stewardess whom I talked about (below post) is always sick of her job. Being sick as she described it was equal to hating her job.
As for me I loved my job.
I loved SIA,
I loved  it when it's a full load because I was assured of at least 6 month bonus,
I loved it when I see my crew sweat it out on the flights  so I could justify my presence on the flights,
I loved to hate my managers,
I loved to kick a few of my svps in their asses.....hahaha....
So you see it's good to love,love,love!!!

Confession of a stewardess,eager at first but now 3 years later..........

Just after the cc interview:

My friend did not manage to get through. After this day, I felt more convinced that this is a job for me. I realized that many other girls I have seen in class who present themselves as business women eager to climb the corporate ladder actually secretly want to become a Singapore girl.

But I got through,  not them.

I went home, happy and excited that I would have the chance to try on the uniform! I started making a few calls to tell some friends..

A Typical Day at Work Pt 1 ( couple of months after training)

Example:


XX502 Bangalore Turnaround
Scheduled Time of Departure from Singapore (STD): 2000
Scheduled Time of Arrival in Bangalore (STA): 2155


Scheduled Time of Departure from Bangalore (STD): 2310
Scheduled Time of Arrival in Singapore (STA): 0605


Total Duty Time: 12h 35min


Because we are required to report for work two hours before the STD, you will arrive at Singapore Changi Airport by 1800h. As you will have to get the flight information before the pre-flight briefing and other stuff, it is "recommended" that you arrive half-hour before the reporting time. So you have to reach by 1730h.


Because it will be an overnight flight where you will work nonstop into the next morning (Singapore Time), be sure you sleep at least four to six hours before the flight. You are in bed by 1300h. Because you got out of bed from the previous night of sleep at 0800h, (you tried your best! Usually you would just sleep till 1000h) you are tossing and turning in bed, forcing yourself to rest before the long and notoriously tiring flight.


In the end you get about one hour of rested sleep. You wake up at 1530h. After showering, you rush to get ready - you now have only half and hour to twist you hair into an immaculate bun, apply foundation, powder, line your eyes, put mascara, lipstick, blusher, eyeshadow and draw your brows. You then proceed to put on your uniform. In your haste, while removing your tee-shirt, you snag your bun and a lock of hair sticks out. You stare nervously at the clock, you HAVE to leave your house by 1630h latest! It is 1625h. You are frustrated and contemplate cutting off all your hair. You say a swear word and proceed to fumble through your drawer for an extra pin. You just stick it in you hair and hope you still look neat. You realise then in horror that you had not remembered to pack the night before!


You silently thank God that you did not have to spend the night in a bangolore hotel and grab your cabin bag.


You rush out of your house and flagged the first cab you see. *UCK!!!!! It sped past you, blissfully unaware of the growing panic that is growing inside your belly. After an excruciating ten minutes, a cab finally stops and the smiling uncle asks "Terminal 3 ah xiao jie?

A Typical Day at Work, Pt 2

The cab drives into the Arrival/Pick up of Changi International Airport and within minutes, you arrive at the Cabin Crew Control Centre.


Only authorized personnel may enter and you are relieved that you didn't forget your staff pass. Once inside, you proceed to the computers where you retrieve the flight information you need (if you haven't already done this at home): STD, STA, flight time, gate, aircraft reg. no., meals to be served onboard, captain's name, first officer's name, whether you need to uplift stuff for the next set of crew on that flight, the security requirement for bangaloh, the prohibited items for crew as well as passengers into the country and into singapore, luggage allowance, duty free allowance, blah blah blah.


AND THE ALL IMPORTANT: PASSENGER LOAD.


Your heart sinks - the flight will be full. you can already see it: all the front rows will be packed with mothers and infants in need of "warm milk, warm milk warm milk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" plus water request, whiskey water to be precise!


You look at your watch, it is ten minutes to the start of the pre-flight briefing. You hastily make your way to the briefing room.


You enter and there are already 2 crew there. One greets you happily, sincerely and you already like her. The other one barely touches your hand when you offer it to her. "what was her name again??!" you ask yourself; she had said it in hardly a whisper. "candice? candy? mandy?!?!" You want to clarify, but all you can see are the thick row of false eyelashes immaculately pasted on her eye lid. She is wearing a completely different shade of eyeshadow from that which is allowed; "is that pink???" you wonder to yourself.


Before you know it, candice, candy or mandy becomes the least of your worries as the room starts to flood in with other crew on your flight. You start to see colours - green, blue, dark blue, grey and shudder... red. The mass of names roll over your ears and you can only hope that the superviser (grey) will take attendance (ala primary school) so you have a second chance to get their names before the flight starts.


Nobody speaks.


Suddenly, you feel like the girl sitting at the back of the room in your secondary school when the teacher staring down at you. There are those the teacher likes - they appear much more confident. There are those who have retained for so many years that they can't be bothered anymore with school - you silently remind yourself not to step on their toes, cos they don't look like they would be very forgiving. There are those who are so smiley and happy, you wonder if they are genuine. And then theres you, hoping the day at school would just pass smoothly, that you didn't forget to do any homework and that you can go home early after class to play.


But the day hasn't even begun.......

3 years later:

I am so SICK of flying!!!!!

Sick of painting my nails bloody red everyday

Sick of looking at my red nails

Sick of squeezing into the cursed uniform

Sick of thinking about what to pack for what weather

Sick of thinking about time zone difference

Sick of checking whos on my flight that I should be wary of

Sick of being scared before each flight

Sick of pretending to be a bimbo so that other crew will talk to me

Sick of speaking singlish all the time to fit in

Sick of FULL LOADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shortage of cabin crew

At the rate most airlines are inviting applications for cabin crew showed that they are desperately short of them. SIA is no exception. We could see almost on a daily basis in their websites and newspapers that interviews are going on fast and furious here in Singapore and abroad.
There are quite a number out in the bloggersphere organising seminars,talk and selling guides to cc wannabes.  Must be doing a roaring business after a quiet 2009. Wish them the best of luck.
As for the cc hopefuls this is an opportune time to get into the airlines be it SIA or EK or CX or MH etc etc.
It's relatively easy to get in at this stage because airlines that are short of crew aren't choosy anymore. Even the "langar lorry" also stands a chance as compared to early this year. Of course the "swee swee" types stand a better chance but they are lesser in number now as other companies are also employing them.
There is an interview for SIA cc wannabes at Marriot, S'pore on 7 August this year,coming only 3 weeks after the last one at Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Good luck buddies!!!

TPT, Mrs. Lam and CCS leaving soon

CEO Chew Choon Seng is expected to leave SIA by year end. He has his retirement extended a few years but now have to say sayonara. Perhaps,Chew could ask Alan Tan to fight his case and get his retirement extended just like the IFS (Inflight Supervisor).But first Chew has to pay his union subscription and arrears.
TPT (Tan Pee Teck) SVPcc is also leaving cabin crew division and expected to join marketing. Many in cc will celebrate his departure...not that they are going to miss him but happy and relief to see him go.
Actually,TPT is not a bad SVP. He has a job to do and take care of his KPI and his lovely family.He has the unenviable task of making sure the inflight service is maintained or even better improve with minimum cost. Well well well I would have done the same as him given the current situation except that I will splurge on the hotel accommodation and crew salaries.
Heard that cc training manager Mrs. Lam is also retiring soon or have retired already (not sure cos she looks younger than her age).
Paywise, an average SVP would get a monthly salary ranging from 15k to 50k,depending on his seniority plus attractive bonuses and share option. But then all this is chicken feed if you compare the salary of our ministers ( I didn't say ah it's the website that says it ok).
As for me ah I get a few hundred $$ a month from my CPFlife which is not even enough to bring me to the casinos.

My Book out in August.

Just for a laugh

At the airport for a holiday trip, Jenny settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at Gate 26. Then she heard the voice on the public address system saying, 'We apologise for the inconvenience, but SQ Flight 001 will now board from Gate 41.'

Jenny picked up her luggage and carried it over to Gate 41. Ten minutes later the public address voice told her that Flight 001 would in fact be boarding from Gate 26.

Once more Jenny gathered her carry-on luggage and returned to the original gate. Just as she was settling down, the public address voice spoke again, 'We would like to thank all passengers for participating in SIA's physical fitness programme.'

I've booked my Terrafugia...have you?

As promised my free tips for cabin crew wannabe interview.

1st round: 10 candidates to 2 interviewers


You would be asked to introduce yourselves and answer a question. The question for all the 10 ppl may be like this one>> "Please introduce yourselves, your current job and answer this - How would you introduce Singapore to your passengers". 

You may talk about the casinos and common tourist sights eg. the night safari, the HDB satellite towns like Toa Payoh etc etc. You could also recommend trekking, the rainforest and Bukit Timah Hill.

2nd round: Skin check 


They would place you into groups. Spotlight on the floor upwards. Most had to do a short walk. They would take your weight and measure your height. 

3rd round: Games and 1-on-1 Interview 


Game: They might separate 8  or 10 people into 2 groups. 4 against 4 or 5 against 5 and you are suppose to discuss strategies. Its memory game whereby you have to get 5 pairs of similar uno cards. Doesn't matter team wins or loses. Just be proactive and polite all the time.

1-to-1: The interviewer  will ask  you questions. It could be about past job experiences or your hobbies and talents. Then there may be a passage reading.  Passages are problems that crew faces in their daily work. 

4th round: Management 


It could be on the next day. They would put you into a group of 4,5 or 6. You would be given time to mingle and get to know each other each other. You may be asked to find out a fascinating fact about your partners and introduce to them to the interviewers. Then they might give you topic a topic to discuss or a debate. 

5th round: Kebaya Fitting 
Put on the kebaya  (men dun have to la) and  walk towards interviewer and undergo a skin check on hands,face etc.


Disclaimer: The author will not be responsible for any failure even if the wannabes followed the above to the letter ok?

The filial son

Tee was just a normal  chief steward in his early forties. He had spent 20  years with the airlines and was a bachelor. The only odd thing about Tee was he had a weakness for the young and newly joined stewardesses. But then which normal man doesn't isn't it? Only thing which is not normal with Tee was he would find every opportunity during work to rub his front against the girls' buttocks. He was sexcited each time there was a new stewardess on his flight. He wouldn't dare to do the same to the senior girls for fear of them reporting him. The new girls were timid and incapable of reporting a chief steward,thought Tee.
Tee had been up to his mischief for many years without anyone reporting him.
One day, Jess a 19 year old new stewardess on her 2nd solo flight became Tee's victim.  He would pretend to teach Jess about work,taking every opportunity to hold her hands and rubbing them. He would rubbed his front against Jess every time he had the opportunity in the close confine of the small galley.
Naturally Jess was terrified of Tee but she wouldn't dare to tell any of her colleagues. After all her colleagues were unfriendly towards her.
During the layover, Tee forced himself into Jess's hotel room and molested her. It went too far and Jess couldn't take it any longer. She went to one of senior stewardesses(Alice) room and beg her for help.
Seeing the bruises on her body and arms inflicted by Tee during her struggle, Alice got so mad that she called Tee up and told him to stop his nonsense.
A few days after the flight Tee was summoned to the office and charged with molesting Jess. He was fired instantly.
Back home and without a job, Tee's mother asked him why he was not working for the last few weeks. Tee lied to his mum that he was on leave. His poor old mum believed him.
In order not to arouse his mum's suspicion, Tee would put on his uniform,carry his bag and parked himself at one of his friends' house for a couple of days. Tee did this for a few years until one day when his mum passed away.
