SIA crew does not practise discrimination

 Let's hope that discrimination against non English speaking passengers will not happen on SQ flights. I am quite confident that our crew are sensitive enough not to do that as at CX  .

DVP is now in charge of cabin crew

 Someone left in the comment below the previous post stating that:

Another CFO Tan taking over CC.Confirm TP.Tan fading into sunset ?

The statement is quite correct as I have heard that an assistant (DVP) is now in cabin crew to oversea the day to day running of the division.

As you know that TPT is ill and is still on long medical leave.

Shoplifting

Heard that the Osaka shoplifting case wasn't the only one in recent times but there were a few other cases.In this post I am only going to talk about why people shoplift and what do they normally steal. My answers to the first part are: 

1) Boredom (applicable to crew during nightstops)

2) Greed

3) Sick (psychological disorders)

My answers to what they usually steal:

1) clothings including underwear

2) Jewellery

3) Something that can be easily hidden

Crew detained in Japan due to .....

A steward was alleged to have shoplifted some items from a shop in Osaka, Japan recently. He was caught by the staff and handed over to the police. The steward was detained even though he explained it was all a misunderstanding. Due to the limited understanding of the English language nothing much could be done to help the poor guy.

I was told the owner of the shop did not want to press charges against the steward. All the shop owner wanted was an apology and payment for the items allegedly stolen. This was comply with and the steward was released. However, on arrival at the airport, the steward was detained by the immigration officer. This time the so called crime was overstaying. The steward was supposed to leave Japan on a certain day with his crew but due to his detention in Osaka he had to depart a few days later which was against the Japanese immigration law.

SIA's inflight meals are yummy

Came back recently on SQ 655 from FUK. It was a 6 hour flight and besides drinks and nuts served after take off, lunch was served 2 hour before landing into SG. I chose the Japanese beef curry rice (above video) which was delicious. Accompanying the curry rice was a packet of cracker, cheese, ice cream plus hot beverages. Not to forget SQ also serves wines and other alcoholic drinks for free. In my opinion, the lunch was so good that I wish I can fly SQ again and again 😋👌👍

Why some people are envious

 I flew back on FUK/SIN recently and was served by the crew that spent 3 nights in Fukuoka. For the 3 night stops I think each crew was paid an estimated $1,000 for meals, location and ifa. They literally had a vacation in Fukuoka. Plus they stayed at a 5 star hotel with each room to themselves. I think this is one of the reasons why some people are envious of the crew. What's so difficult or tiring serving one meal and a few drinks to the passengers over a 6 hour flight?

SIA Cabin Crew Serving Lunch on SQ655

I came back on this flight yesterday and was served by a wonderful set of cabin crew. I enjoyed the flight and particularly like the Japanese beef curry rice.

2 ex crew died and I didn't know about it!

I knew one of the 2 deceased by the nickname of Joe Stone but can't recall the other one whose initial is M. They both passed away recently.

The passing of the older ex-crew is frequent these days as most are now in their 60s and 70s. I have fond memories of many of them and I do missed them except for a few.

I heard svp cc is asking for early retirement as he is not in the best of health. We wish TPT speedy recovery.

Lucky people, excellent company

 The coming 8 months bonus for SIA staff is a lot of money. Take for example a stewardess who has been flying for 1 to 5 years may be paid something like 12k (1.5 x by 8) or an inflight manager 28k or a captain 120k! Lucky people working for an excellent airline. Only regret is those crew who left because they refused to be vaccinated against Covid. Think these former crew should be reinstated to their former position.

8 months bonus for SIA staff

 SIA is going to reward its staff with a big 8 months' bonus after a recorded profit of over $2 billion. The staff deserves the bonus after what they had gone through during the pandemic.

Not in a million years

 Many years ago I privately told my then svp about employing foreign crew from Asia but he arrogantly brushed me aside and told me not in a million years. He said he did not want SIA to be like CX but now who is right?

Shorter walk-in interview

There was a cabin crew walk-in interview in Singapore last Saturday. The turnout was quite poor as compared to other walk-in interviews. There was no queue I was told. Poor SIA! Why are young Singaporeans shunning the cabin crew job? Is it due to the salary, working condition or people are simply not interested in the flying job anymore?

For SIA the alternative is to fill up the cc job with more foreigners. The young ones from India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc are dying to don the Balmain kebaya. Would employing foreigners a good alternative? What do you think my dear readers?

Breakfast on SQ Japan flight

 

The topmost image is the yakisoba breakfast and the lower is chicken patty and scrambled eggs. Both dishes were delicious although the size of the trays are smaller. I still think the food served on SIA flights are much tastier than in the past years. 

Helpfulness extends beyond paxs' services

 SIA is not only customer service oriented but internally it is also extremely helpful towards its own retired staff like myself and others. Take for example when I needed assistance to get my tickets from the staff travel dept and travel advice, the staff are always there to help. Besides,they are also prompt in attending to us. Thank you very much to the staff in the travel dept!
