Infidelity or cheating on partners by cabin crew

Infidelity (colloquially known as cheating) most commonly refers to a breach of the expectation of sexual exclusivity.
Infidelity can occur in relation to physical intimacy and/or emotional intimacy. The impact of infidelity is said to be not only about sex outside the relationship, but also about trust, betrayal, lying and disloyalty.Sexual infidelity by a marriage partner is commonly called  adultery, or an affair.
Please don't get me wrong when I say that there are quite a number of crew who cheat on their partners and spouses. In fact the majority are not the type and will not cheat.
Why am I blogging about this topic you may ask? Well, the answer is because I have received requests from a number of people (many were not cabin crew)for information regarding their partners' (male as well as female crew) rosters,movement,overseas hotel phone numbers where they were staying etc... They felt their partners were cheating on them especially when they were night stopping overseas.
Infidelity,adultery or cheating happen all the time and in many places. It  happen in offices between colleagues, between teachers and students (lately there were a few cases reported in S'pore) etc... In cabin crew it is more prevalent due to the environmental factor.
Working together in a confined area with close proximity like in an aircraft for long hours as well as staying in the same hotel at outstations with nothing much to do also help increases the number of infidelity amongst crew. Passengers chasing after the Balmain Kebaya clad girls are also common. There were many cases of girls ditching their office bound boy friends and some housing agents and "eloped" with their new and often wealthy passenger lovers. Pilots are equally guilty.
I understand a captain had to compensate his "out of this world " ( her name was Mercury or something like that) stewardess GF because his wife had discovered about their affair. He paid his GF about half a million SIN dollars for the break up.
Most felt insecure because their partners are crew and they are not. One emailed me asking whether it was possible for his stewardess girl friend to operate a flight a few hours later after she had arrived home from a long flight. As far as I know, the airlines do not overstretched or overworked their crew .  There is such a thing call "the minimum" rest period in between flights. The airlines are bound by law not to infringe on the "minimum" rest period of the crew. So in this case I suspect the stewardess was telling a lie to her partner when she claimed she had to operate a flight  a few hours after arriving home.
Some suspected their partners (crew)were cheating on them when the hotels they called told them there were no such crew staying in that hotels.
One colleague told me he suspected his wife was not being truthful to him because he was unable to contact her in her overseas hotel room in spite of the many calls he made. Later, I was told by a crew that my colleague's wife was seen with a Caucasian man throughout the duration of her night stop.
Most guys would lose their girl friends once they start to fly as stewardesses. There are many temptations out there eg. better looking men, financially well off men and many "wolves" or as we in cc call them "buayas" (Malay word for crocodile).
During training,a trainee stewardess of mine told us she was a virgin and will never leave her boy friend when she started flying. I told her she would probably be the first one in the class to leave her boy friend. She disagreed but on her first flight to the States, I was told she slept with a handsome leading steward who had broken many hearts in the past.
One foreign stewardess who was based here was running around with an American chap when she had a fiancee back home. She begged me not to tell her dad whom I knew about her American boy friend.
A trainee steward told me his non crew girl friend left him before he even started flying. She felt very insecure about him being a part of cabin crew.
Guys also had their fair share of infidelity. A female reader emailed me about her unfaithful pilot husband. Click here to read the email.
Like elsewhere, infidelity occurs all the time. Either you choose to close an eye to the wrong doings of your partner  or you leave him or her. It's so simple as that isn't it?

Amazing Grace by Puppet Sam

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will be my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

All airlines beware and take note of this or else..............

This is what a flight attendant Melissa stated in her blog:


" Even though I love my job to bits, there is one thing that if the airline took away from me I'd be resigning straight away my travel benefits. I know that there are very few other jobs that would allow me to travel and enjoy other countries and cultures as much as this one, and whether it be on a layover or on my own time I still have a passion for travelling 6 years on........More in her blog.

Goofed Inflight announcements.

A senior steward while the plane was still on ground waiting for one last passenger to arrive announced: Ladies and Gentlemen, We are still waiting for one passenger to arrive. As soon as he arrives, we will leave the aircraft.

The same senior steward during the flight made the announcement before commencement of the sales of duty free products: Ladies and Gentlemen, We will be conducting our duty free sales shortly and they will be rolling down the cabin.

A new stewardess was heard making the Welcome announcement: Don’t Read It, Say It. Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, ......... (“Don’t Read It, Say It” though written on the page of the announcement book was meant as a reminder for the crew not to sound like as though you are reading.)

Another stewardess on landing into the old Manila Airport panicked, because she had to announced the name of the airport in the arrival announcement. Instinctively she peeked through the plane window and noticed what she thought was the name of the airport and proceeded to announce: Ladies and Gentlemen, We have just landed at MABUHAY Airport. (Mabuhay in Tagalog means Welcome).

BT : KNN why dun take more of our own ah Lians (local gals) huh?

Grateful for the help.

Not along ago, I was at a housing estate doing some heartland shopping when I met an ex stewardess called Susanna  (not her real name). At first, she looked familiar to me but as she approached closer I realised Sue must have been a stewardess with SQ.
Sue gave me a big sweet smile and asked me whether I could remember her. I said "yes" though I was still unsure about her eg. her name and when was the last time I flew with her.
" I was the girl who was supposed to be sacked because of a report from an IFS....remember Sir? ".  "You save me and I am always grateful to you."  Oh "ya" came my reply," now I remember you".
We chatted for a while along the pavement leading to the shop that I wanted to visit.  Sue told me she had almost completed her 2nd contract with SQ and is now married.
Going back about 10 years, Sue was a newbie stewardess. She was a gorgeous looking girl of about 20 back then (she is still good looking). When she was on probation, an IFS who was her crew in charge tried to get her a sack. He put in a nasty report about Sue and wanted the manager get rid of Sue. That IFS was one of the manager's favourites because of his involvement and assistance in the office activities ( in short he was a balls carrier). The real story why the IFS didn't like Sue was because he hinted to Sue on one of their flights that he was interested in her. However, Sue didn't pay much attention to him and it hurt his ego. From that day, he was all out to get Sue a sack. He was a senior crew and held the key to Sue's survival in the airline.
When the matter was brought to my attention, I spoke to the manager and persuaded him not to sack Sue. I told him the IFS had a bad reputation and had victimised other junior crew before. I was involved in Sue's case because I was her ward leader.
After some investigation, the manager believed half of the IFS's story. He made the decision to extend Sue's probationary period for 6 months instead of sacking her, much to our relief.
That was probably the reason Sue never forget me.

How Great Thou Art – The History of the hymn

The history of the hymn How Great Thou Art begins with Mr. Carl Gustaf Boberg (1859-1940). He was a Swedish pastor, editor, and member of the Swedish parliament. Mr. Boberg was enjoying a nice walk when a thunderstorm suddenly appeared out of no where. A severe wind began to blow. After the storm was over, Mr. Boberg looked out over the clear bay. He then heard a church bell in the distance. And the words to How Great Thou Art begin to form in his heart -- O Lord, my God, When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands hath made. . . Can you imagine what Boberg felt as he formed these words? There was such calmness after the fierce storm he could only utter those words of peace.

BT:  Today being a Sunday I think it is appropriate that this video is posted for the glory of God.

He loves to be a pilot so he could get free medical.

He is a teenager who loves to be a pilot and so he forged a Singapore Airlines staff pass that identified him as a pilot. He also used the pass to get free medical treatment at the Raffles Medical Group at Changi Airport on 5 occasions before being apprehended.
The news is reported in today 17 December Straits Times.


BT: Toking about medical, there was a case of a steward who stole a whole booklet of medical certificate from a clinic and signed himself medical leave whenever he did not want to go to work. Of course he was caught la and sacked. Fortunately for him, his case wasn't reported to the police.

SIA inflight magazine bag

This woman was seen carrying the SIA magazine bag around Pasir Ris Drive 6 doing marketing and someone overheard her saying that she is going to ship the bag to her hometown.

BT:  If the magazine bag was removed from the aircraft I wonder where else could the cabin crew stow some of the magazines after the flight?  Also, how could the crew not seen the passenger bring the bag out of the aircraft? .....Could it be removed from the store at SATS by a ground staff ??...hmm..* scratching my head leh *

Gracious, elegant, friendly - a few terms that come to mind when thinking of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight attendant, better known as the Singapore Girl. Yet, when The Straits Times Online met chief stewardess Jessie Keuk Suet Ching for this feature profile, the words passion, ambition and unpredictability encapsulate her as a Singapore Girl, 24 years after joining the airline.

SIA steward fined for abusing neighbour

THEY were both Singapore Airlines (SIA) chief stewards and neighbours, but relations between the two men were anything but cordial.

For 3-1/2 hours one night in 2009, Devinder Singh, 51, spouted a litany of verbal abuse as he complained bitterly about 55-year-old K. Parameshwara.

Singh was apparently near the ground floor carpark of the Upper East Coast Road estate where the two SIA employees lived.

But he spoke so loudly that Mr Parameshwara, who was in his second floor unit just above, heard everything...

She is a Gem

I had the privilege of meeting and working with a stewardess called Amy (not her real name). Amy joined the airline when she was barely 20 years old. She has never worked before but beinga girl of stewardess potential, SQ handed her the job with just a single interview.
Amy was a sex bomb and more than that she was also an excellent stewardess providing her passengers outstanding service. Very often, her passengers would reward her with gifts like cash,diamond rings,expensive watches, branded clothings etc.
Amy was generous and kind to her colleagues. I remember a time Amy lent a steward a big sum of money for his wedding (he gambled away his savings). She also lent thousand of dollars to other crew members but did not received the full amount back.
During her flying days,Amy would give half of her monthly salary to charity. Today, she is still doing charity,often by cooking for the aged as well as visiting the sick and destitude.
Amy worked for only 1 term contract of 5 years with SIA.
Many rich passengers were eyeing Amy and it made her boy friend very jealous. In order to please her boy friend she left the airline.
Her boy friend bought her a red Mercedes sports as a present for leaving SIA. He also gave her private apartments and houses to show his love for Amy.

Don't blow your job away

A senior steward got into trouble with the company because he used terms like "blow job" & "French cap" in the presence of the stewardesses during an off duty drinking session.
The steward was suspended from flying awaiting a disciplinary enquiry which may see him getting the sack or demotion or at the least a severe warning for "outraging the girls' modesty".

Neighbourhood spat that went to trial

ONE party in a neighbourhood spat last year spurned mediation because the matter was serious and sought settlement in court.

As the two sides had different work schedules and mutually suitable court dates had to be found, the nine days of hearing stretched from September last year to April.

Both parties were supervisory-level Singapore Airlines (SIA) cabin crew who lived in different units in the same block in Upper East Coast Road. Click here to continue reading.

Ex chief stewardess Constance Chee

Yesterday and today I notice there is a sudden surge in the number of visitors to my blog. Most of them were searching for Constance Chee who was responsible for her lover's daughter death a few years ago.
May someone please tell me why people are now interested in Constance's case when it has happened a few years ago?

4 participants from my 27 Nov talks got into SQ on 3 Dec interview.

These 4 participants at my Talks got into SIA cabin crew on 3 & 4 December 2011 interview at Sheraton Tower Hotel, Singapore. Sure, they were repeat interviewees with SIA without much success before attending my Talks (one of them failed as many as 15 times).
My congratulation to all four and hope they will a colorful career with one of the world's best airlines.
I hope more of my course participants and buyers of my E-Guide will come forward and tell me of their success. Don't worry cos I promise to keep your names confidential. Don't worry SIA won't penalise you for attending my Talks nor buying my E-Guide cos SIA is NOT a petty airline.

SCOOT new video

3 December (today) cabin crew interview.

Yes, there is a walk-in interview for SIA cabin crew at the Sheraton Tower Hotel today. Yes, many will attend, perhaps a thousand or more. Yes, many will leave Sheraton Tower disappointed. The beneficiary would ultimately be the nearby Newton hawker centre, the Newton MRT,the hotel itself which the thousand of wannabes will patronised. Undoubtedly many more will benefit from the interview exercise including the taxi service. But who would be the main losers? The answer is the many wannabes!
Sure a handful of wannabes would rejoice. They are the lucky ones because they are being selected to be the cabin crew of the world's finest airlines. The rest of the thousands will go home feeling disappointed and dejected. Some will finally contact me to find out when is my next seminar and how to buy my e-guide. They don't wanna be disappointed again should there be another interview. At a time like this, many will email or contact me to ask for a shoulder to cry on. To them my reply is, don't give up but try again because SIA is terribly short of cabin crew. There will always be vacancies and interviews,month after month.
If one has tried on many occasions and failed miserably then it's time to ask what's wrong with oneself. "Was it because of the way I conducted myself at the interviews or was it due to my inadequacies?" etc etc.
Go and find the answers and help from people who knows. Don't just sit there and wait for as you get older the harder it will be for you to achieve your goals.

Latest rumours

Someone told me that a chief purser was sacked because he upgraded his colleague who was flying as a passenger on his flight. We all along thought in this situation, the wrong doer would be severely warned but are surprised that he was sacked.

There was a rumour swirling around that more than a dozen cc including some foreign crew were hauled up by the authority for indirectly and  a few directly involving in drug smuggling. When the picture becomes clearer then it will posted here.

Beyond the curtain of time

Last night I listened to the sermon preached by a man called William Branham (above video). He mentioned about being in the dimension where he could see and feel the Christians who had left this earth. I listened intently and I told the Lord I believed and was convinced what Branham said was the truth.
During the early hour of the morning (1 December), I dreamed I was at a coffee shop with a friend of mine having our usual cup of afternoon coffee. Suddenly, I had a heart attack and slipped into a coma. I then had a glimpse of the scene Branham spoke about seeing the Christians in paradise. It was an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place. I struggled and wanted to enter that dimension but I could not. I recovered from my heart attack and was well again. I do not understand why I was given the opportunity to witness the place Branham talked about.
