IFM may not have abused ex MI stewardess as alleged

 From my investigation, SilkAir stewardesses do not operate A380. The OP stated in his email that the IFM abused the SilkAir stewardess in "the presence of 23 crew members". Therefore the OP's complaint is questionable. The IFM concerned is not so popular with many crew and it may be a case of "sabo". However, I was told he is now under investigation for breaching some company's rules and regulation.

Died of a heart attack

 

Former chief steward died of a heart attack while playing tennis yesterday. As far as I know he was fit and has no health issues. RIP Anthony Ang.

A cc wannabe asked this question....

 Hi BT

Im looking to join as a SQ Steward. I'm wondering if SQ provides holiday allowances on top of the existing allowances,

For example, if CC layover in NYC, which is once in blue moon roster, do we get additional allowance for us to enjoy the stay apart from Crew hotel? Because back in SG, we need money to live and pay bills.

In NYC, we don't want to stay in hotel just to save money. We want to go out and enjoy after handling passengers.

Is this possible?

Let's move on guys

Let's move on to other topics.....

"IFM allegedly took it on ex MI stewardess" (most sensible comment)

 Let me give my comments from a neutral point of view. I am a current SQ crew (not a veteran neither a newbie). Firstly, former MI crews are already trained for for A350 flights and some have even completed, hence, their SNY. The next batch of MI crew will commence their training on Tuesday, 24 May 2022 (the batch of 12 has to go to the US Embassy on Monday, 23 May 2022) to get their visa. So this will dispel the myth over the statement, "NONE of them are trained (yet) on this aircraft type". Secondly, the OP must have seen previous posts and noted that names have been mentioned and initials used for the nasty ones. I have friends who are former MI crew members. Apparently, this incident have been spreading like wild fire amongst them. Some are worried about meeting this IFM whilst some are quite gung-ho and said they know what to do. Some have gone back to their former management staff to seek advice and were told to stay calm and report to Ward Leader after flight. I think what the IFM should do if he know that this incident is going around. Not difficult to find who which crew is involved. We all know having SNY is not common, more so when it is a former MI crew. So, what he can do is call up the crew to clarify matters. On the other hand, if there is some truth in it, good luck to him.

IFM allegedly took it on ex MI stewardess

 Hi, Boh Tong, that was a very good response. Separately, I would like to seek your view on this situation. As you are aware, Silkair recently became part of SIA and its crew became part of the latter's. After undergoing a training stint at STC, they would be placed on SIA'S long haul flights as well. Apparently, this did not go down too well with a certain IFM. During a recent briefing for a flight, and in noting that there was Silkair's crew on SNY, he openly said, "You Silkair crew don't deserve to come to SIA. You are here to take over our flights" followed by further criicisms. This was done during the briefing and in the presence the presence of 23 crew members. I cannot imagine how the Silkair crew felt. She must have felt terrible during that trip. She felt grossly humilated that even the SQ crew felt sorry for her. Can you please advise who should I raise this matter to? Should I raise it with the CEO or Cabin Crew Department or social media? The initials of the IFM is WLK and with an English name beginning with P. Please let me have your views and advice which is the best route to raise this matter.

A tribute to my friend and ex-colleague

 

Gabriel Goh has passed away a few weeks ago. May RIP. He was working as a catering officer/supervisor with SIA/SATS before his retirement. He was a nice guy who was very generous with his friends. In the photo above Gabriel with the black/white checked short sleeves shirt bought us dinner at the same place twice in 2017. Each dinner with drinks cost him around $500 but he gladly paid for it. Besides being generous, Gabriel was also a pleasant person to be with. He was a positive and cheerful friend. I did not have the chance to see him when he was ill as I am still in Japan. However, we communicated quite often via WhatsApp before he passed away. I am writing this post as a tribute to him.

 Hi Boh Tong

Whats your thoughts on increased taxi rates to airport made news today?

Do you think its fair for SQ CC to be given the $270 transport allowance which was made the same price more than 15 years ago disregarding inflation and others.

Should SQ offer complimentary chaffeur service for CC going to and from airport when they've flight?
