Unvaccinated cabin crew

 Scores have resigned because they do not want to be vaccinated against Covid-19 or  accept ground jobs. For those unvaccinated crew who want to be remained employed, they will start their ground duties from 1 September 2021. They will work in the office from Monday to Friday and will be assigned work which they can carry out.

Number of crew who resigned

 

Legend: IFM = Infight Manager, CS/CSS = Chief Steward/Chief Stewardess, LS/LSS = Leading Steward/Leading Stewardess, FS/FSS = Flight Steward/ Fight Stewardess.

No vaccination, no flights

 Majority of the cabin crew had been vaccinated against Covid-19. There are still a handful who does not want to be vaccinated. As frontline workers, if one does not want to be vaccinated one would be redeployed to jobs where one does not come in contact with the customers. The policy make a lot of sense.

I was informed that as of last week, over 70 crew of various ranks have resigned. They refused to be vaccinated and do not want to be redeployed as "ground" staff. The number of resignation could not be independently verified.

If you think vaccination works then you should listen to this expert

Even the cash rich with strong backers won't survive if .........

 Many, including the SG government are hopeful that borders will be opened and flying will be resumed. But now with the Delta variants spreading mercilessly even China which had successfully contained the initial outbreak is facing serious and numerous infection of the Delta variant. 

 Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, South Korean and many other countries are struggling to contain the virus. My guess is most airlines including the cash rich ones with strong government support would not last unless the virus suddenly and miraculous disappeared in the next one year.

My response to "Many SIA girls work in KTVs

 I refer to this news that many SIA girls work in KTVs. Whether it is true or not we really don't know because there is no evidence so far that these girls are working in KTVs. The report in the media is based on a "Singaporean hostess who spills all".

My take is that even if the report is true what's wrong with working in the KTVs? These girls are not earning as much in their roles as stewardesses. Many have families to feed, loans to pay etc. They can't make ends meet. Blame it on the pandemic for whatever they are doing. I suspect the "Singaporean hostess" who so called "spills" the beans is simply envious or I don't know what....

‘Many SIA girls work in KTVs’: Singaporean hostess spills all

" RIP" unpopular boss??

 

Recently the above WhatsApp message was circulating around . The said svp was a very unpopular boss who used to bully his office staff and cabin crew. He came to cabin crew from a notorious department which used force and intimidation to get its staff to produce results.

For us in cabin crew, it was unfortunate to be working under this tyrant. He would bang table at meetings when he did not get his way. Raising his voice and shouting at his staff was part of the daily routine. Many dreaded working under him. The only exception were pretty and sexy stewardesses. They were spared from being bullied.

When news came that he had died, many ex crew were celebrating. Why did I said ex crew? It is because this fellow was cabin crew svp a few decades ago and current and younger crew may not know or had work under him. By the way, he has retired long ago.

Following the news of his "death", I did some detective work and to my surprise he was still alive somewhere in Australia.

Many were disappointed that the news of his passing was fake. The news must have been started by someone who hated him.

Alex was a healthy guy who loved the outdoor life. The heart attack came as a shock to many of us who knew him. May his soul RIP!
