SIA requires between 700 and 800 new crew for its Northern European summer schedule. Besides, it will aggressively promote many of its current junior crew to the rank of leading and chief.
Judging by the attendances at the last few weekends of the face to face interviews at STC (SIA Training Center), I can safely say that many wannabes are not being deterred by the pandemic or the negative comments posted by some "sour grapes" in this blog.
If I am young again, I would have joined in the fray to be a steward with the world's best airlines.
Seldom an "O" level in the outside world can be paid as much as $4,500 a month in salary. A senior crew can even earn as much as $10,000 a month if he or she is on the ULR (Ultra Long Range) fleet.
There were crew who complained publicly that flying has lost its glamour because they are disallowed to leave their hotel rooms during their nightstop at overseas stations. This measure is only temporary due to the pandemic.
To cut a long story short, nothing can and will discourage people from wanting to be a cabin crew with Singapore Airlines.

If it's a job that pays well,good,might as well make the best of it.Not forgetting that air travel brought the case zero here.Who was at fault for undermining the pandemic,Wuhan for under reacting to the cases.A million cases here,till cure or tablet available on board,insurance coverage for it,one must be reminded,vaccination is not a cure,only lessen the severities.Long term ranging from damages to fertility,and other parts have not been researched and documented,discover yet.The risk seems to be there,whether it's within acceptable to city,country or mankind itself yet to be quantified.The total cost will be down the road,to the country economy,now totalled billions,it need to be paid by all.God bless us all.
In the long term, its not as attractive as last time. With measures to relax further, there will soon be back without mask. Crew will be risking their health & families' health to earn the money.
Like what the above had said, vaccination is not a cure.
The risk may not = to the money u earn.
The company doesn't see the crew as human, they are just a number that can be replaced. Join the company and in time they will understand this.
Hello Boh Tong
It seems the two above comments reaffirmed that being a CC is not as glamorous than your golden flying time where SQ didn't face competition.
Don't label the CC "truth spokepersons" as sour grapes as we don't want the wannabes felt disillusioned and get a culture shock when they join CC.
If so easy, turnover rate won't be high and won't be toxic environment.
