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."

Not joking but SIA is recruiting cabin crew

A tribute to the nice staff

 Zainal from control center has sadly passed away. He was a wonderful person to have around. I wonder what has happened to Jimmy Keong another nice and helpful worker in control center. Rumour has it that Jimmy is staying at a nursing home. Ibrahim another good colleague has also passed away a few years ago. Anyone knows where Velo is? He is another cheerful and helpful staff. 

SIA one of the best, according to Fortune

 Why not? SIA has consistently been one of the world's and most   admired company...Read what Fortune has to say here

Cabin crew control staff Zainal

 Zainal passed away I was told (hope I am misinformed). He was a wonderful and help staff as far as I know. Despite hectic work schedule (control staff has to handle thousands of crew), Zainal was cheerful and was not rude like a few of his colleagues. 

RIP my dear friend!
