She fought it out in court

 There was a stewardess whose father engaged a lawyer to fight her case when they caught her for shoplifting in Tokyo. The next thing we knew was that she was found guilty and fined! She is now out of job....silly isn't it? Should have negotiated with the store owner and paid them than fight it out in court.

Shop lifting in Japan

 I was told that if you are caught or mistakenly caught shoplifting in Japan don't argue or try to engage a lawyer to fight for you. Simply apologize and pay up for the amount of goods plus a penalty of about 10 times (negotiable)of the value of the stolen goods to the shop and you should get away with it.

SIA offered compensation for SQ 321 paxs

 US$25k for seriously injured paxs, US$10k for less serious and S$1k for all paxs not injured. I believe not all will accept the compensation and will sue SIA for more. 

I remember the children of a couple who died in the SQ006 crash refused the compensation and sued SIA . They were awarded US$15 million. Will the deceased pax (only one who died) family take SIA to court?

Ex IFM Alywinn may buy a house in Japan?

QR 017 kena turbulence

 Yesterday Qatar Airways flight QR 017 was hit by a severe turbulence when flying between Doha and Dublin. Six paxs and six cabin crew were injured.

Air turbulence is on the increase due to climate change so I was told. Flying as a crew is no longer fun as one may get seriously hurt due to the ever increasing turbulence. What are your thoughts on this?

Our heroic crew

EK awarding staff 5 months bonus

 Emirates is giving its staff a 20 weeks bonus (5 months) for year 2024 after a record breaking profit. Although EK bonus is 5 months the staff salary is much higher compared to SIA. In all, the staff and crew will be getting more due to their higher salary and tax free policy.

Ungrateful staff?

 SIA is so very generous to the staff by giving the highest bonus ever of 7.9 months and yet the staff complained a lot about SIA. Take for example some were not happy because SIA treat its staff to kueh kueh for May Day. The staff gave SIA such lousy ratings as Best Employer, dragging it down to 112 position.

Are the staff ungrateful??

SIA giving staff bonus of 7.9 months

 Wa lau SIA is giving staff almost 8 months of bonus after record profit for 2024 of   S$2.7 billions. The staff deserves every cent of the bonus.

Singapore new Prime MInister

 Mr Lawrence Wong will be our new prime minister from tomorrow onwards. He will take over from PM Lee who will be a senior minister. 

I wonder what is Lawrence like and his policy for Singapore. Will he be able to tackle the high and rising cost of living in SG ? However, there is little change I guess. Well we will just watch how his performance will be in the coming months and years.

Unfortunate incident after the party

Recently an ex ifs Ravinder Pal threw a party for ex-MSA/SIA crew at SCC. About 130 people attended including the former chairman (JY Pillay) and ceo (Dr Cheong). The last one was in 2019, also sponsored by Ravinder.

All went well except one from Sydney who flew down with his wife. This happened the day after the party when his wife slipped and fell at a restaurant and died two days later. I am not sure I knew the ex crew. Anyone has any idea who the person was?

SIA cheap snacks and best employer

 

The above was sent to me by the crew. Some have criticized SIA for offering the above cheap snacks to the staff in celebrating May Day.

Another thing was SIA being voted 112 position by its staff as Best Employer!
