You are not totally correct. Actually most crew dont like to gather for a meal. We are compelled and obliged to go. Plus why die die must eat at Earls court and bayswater etc when there are thousands of outlets availavble.its a kind of mental sickness. When i mention breakfast at earls court, most crew give me a kind of wierd look. They have never been there before or hear before..

My reply:

Maybe you are talking about the recent crew. I am talking about my time perhaps 30 to 40 years ago when we were staying at the Gloucester Hotel. Those days the crew did not have social media platform like TikTok, FB etc. In fact we did not even have mobile phone. So we liked to meet for meals and drinks. Of course, even during those time we had crew who did not like to socialise with their colleagues but  far and few.

Yes you are right to say there are many places to go to. In the blog I was trying to bring back the fond memories of the days gone by whereby we usually meet for meals and drinks and chit chat. 

 Anyone knows where is the cc staying in London now??

To Earls Court for breakfast

 

Whenever I n/s in London my crew and I would visit Earls Court Station area for breakfast. There were many cafes serving food. We would be having breakfast and chatting for at least 1 hour. There was no mobile phone or wifi at that time. Life was simple and enjoyable and the crew loved gathering over a meal. There were also many other places which bring back fond memories. The only regret is we did not have cameras to snap photos.

Employing crew from SG and MY only

 SIA is still recruiting cabin crew from SG and MY. The website is at https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/us/careers/cabin-crew-career/

I think the airline is still short of local cabin crew. It is currently not employing crew from other countries. However, I don't understand why only SG and MY only?
