No one in my family is an air maid so don't worry, feel free to gloat. I recalled one incident that pissed me off. I tried to take video of the girl demonstrating flight safety procedures but was told not to film. Like wtf right, don't want to get film? Only fl would say that. Hundreds of people on the flight, can't even take photo?

why want to video it? what is your intentions? better to just stop you from doing it than have to worry about you pcc-ing to them later on using the recorded video.

Usually when they start demonstration of the life jacket, the plane is starting to move. You shouldn't be using the phone or any electronic devices at that moment. You are endangering the lives of others on the flight.

Here’s a piece of news for you: even Pilots are using their phones at the cockpit :(

Sia is just another failed business model done up by our sg elites no brainer, look at delta airlines. Even during this time, they lose little money..... sia overpaid all their staff, really brainless ....

Posted from PCWX using iPhone12,5

Actually the staff pay varies. Not all are that well paid. The true money sucking leechers are the numerous top management and board of directors. Those are the ones sucking the company dry. Staff pay have very little impact compared to the numerous non-essential top management people and board of directors pay.

Because safety. The reason why they ask you to tuck away your bags and belongings. In an unfortunate event, they want to minimise loose objects flying around the cabin. Your camera will be one of them.

Then they should do proper maintenance check on the aircraft. During take off, there should not be a high degree of shaking to the extend that passengers will bounce off and things tossing around.

I said "in an unfortunate event", aka if **** happens.

You can guarantee 100% no accidents or cock ups will haopen? Then why need to do pre-flight safety procedure and instructions?

Wages play a big part in the airlines, if not the most burdened. Why’d you think it doesn’t :s11:

Not depreciation per se but the cost of maintenance and parking. Every second the plane isn’t in the air, the airline is bleeding :s22:

I believe airlines lose money not because of salary but more because of airplanes depreciation... Unless they dun own the planes but they rent the planes... Not possible right ??

Doubt any of them will take the offer - especially those not on NPL.

There will be. There are cabin crew who hate the job but can't afford or dont want to break their bonds. Now they can do so without penalty (early release).
