Looks like many countries are living with Covid
Many countries like Australia (except for WA), Norway, UK and more are opening up to international tourists. This is fantastic news for a lot of businesses and in particular the airline and tourism industries.
Some of my friends are planning to visit Australia and London in the next couple of days and weeks. UK has removed all restrictions and did away with Covid (PCR) tests, mask wearing etc.
SIA is now aggressively hiring cabin crew for the North European summer schedule. SIA needs around 700 to 800 cabin crew in the current interview. It has also allow former crew to attend the interview.

Readers comparing treatment of dog to cabin crew
Just like some PPS abused the poor tired crew.
Agreed with the above comment.Spitting,slapping,punching,slamming the cc with their PPS cards are common occurrences. We are being treated worst than that poodle because no one protested against the ill treatment.
Ask the stupid man to stand on his toes on one leg and punish him if can't.
To the cabin crew who have been bullied by PPS : just one ear in and one ear out, then come to boh tong's web site and vent your frustration. At the end of the day, you still get your pay, unlike this poor poodle.

Will the current recruitment be successful?
According to Straits Times 2,379 cabin crew left SIA between March 2020 and 2021. Now with more VTL opening up, SIA requires more crew. ST does not know how many crew does SIA requires. However, my guess is between 700 and 800 crew. The question now is how many would want to join SIA? Not many I guess as the conditions are not as favorable as prior to Covid days.
To begin with, I don't think the crew will have "long" nightstops overseas. They may slipped into a station after a long grueling flight and allowed the minimum hours of stay as required by law. Another reason may be due to the restriction of movement during their nightstops. They may not be allowed to leave the hotel rooms due to the on going pandemic. I think it will be good if the airline can clarify the above 2 points.
The above is my personal opinion and I may be wrong (I hope I am wrong).

A reader left this comment..what do you think?
"who in their right mind will join SIA as a cabin crew now? High risk, more demanding and rude passengers, lower overall pay, limited to no progression.
then again if one has no desired skill in the market they can join because cabin crew required least amount of brain work. All the much boasted "soft skills" are useless when it come to career switch, they are good to have but definitely need a strongly based hard skill(s).
join at your own risk."
