the pilot with the child pr0n.. nah.. that has got nothing to do with his duties..
Er, from what i read in the straits times, the australian authorities said it was not child prawn =/

I haven't sat on one of their flights in 6 years. The extra outlay for the ticket isn't worthwhile, and this incident isn't going to win me over. I've ever flown with only 4 carriers and I'm going to try more.

but i oways like to fly sq.

But I think many Singkies dun even understand this, a good customer service relationship is always based on a good two way traffic communication
Customer is always right is shit.What it should be is retailer is always right. If a customer abuses his power and he's always right, he'll always get away with it.
If a retailer is shit but he's always right, he'll go bust anyway.
I always hate the phrase customer is always right. It's the most over-used phrase that is always abused time and again.

Don't you know that SQ is very commericialised????
Only young pax allowed to work... the retirement(use and throw) age is very low in their airline...
But service wise... still okay... maybe you are the one not getting any service on plane?
Anyway, I look down on them for not protecting their workers...

i've oways heard that the service is good. from singaporeans, foreigners, economy class seaters, first class seaters, etc.
but mi wont know cos SQ is out of my budget.

Actually, I dislike the way they have handled this issue, but I'm still flying SQ.
I did consider other airlines, but I'm actually happy with SQ's service thus far, and the food is pretty alright, and I have no complaints, really, as far as the in-flight entertainment and service is concerned. To be honest, I feel quite miserable thinking that I have to fly on other airlines on my Melbourne-Singapore routes. Already, I hate spending all those hours cramped up on board an aircraft in cattle class, as Fatum puts it, I'd feel worse if I had to be in cattle class on board a plane where the in-flight entertainment is not as good, and where the food is yuckier.
If there's a better and cheaper alternative, I would switch. But so far, the cheaper alternatives aren't better.
I heard of Asians experiencing poor service in cases where the stewardesses are Caucasians. I'm really not keen to pay for a flight where that's going to happen to me.

my friend encountered this many years ago on quantas.
He was doing a paid specialist sound technical job at australia, and he was flown buiness class. Those time, smoking is allowed on plane, only at one side of the section. My friend seat was at the smoking section. He wore bermuda and he looked round and very chinese.
A ang-moh came over and politely requested if he can sit on his seat so that he would like to smoke (he din have the smoking seat). My friend was kind enough to stand up and let the angmoh sit down to smoke. My friend was thus standing and chatting happily with the ang-moh.
In come along a quantas auzzy airstewardess from other section, and she saw my chinese friend. Walk straight to him and said rudely, "HEy, you dun belong here, go back to where you belong", pointing the economy seats. My friend and the ang-moh had a shock of their lives. The ang-moh stood up for my friend and explained that my friend "lent" him the seat. The air stewardess seems not convinced and was rude. The ang-moh then wipped out his card. He was the Airport Master (the top guy at the sidney airport). He told the air stewardess "see me at my office!" very fiercely. He apologised to my friend.
My friend heard that the air-stewardess was sacked immediately.

So... since you aren't nice to me, am I therefore justified in being nasty to you?

Waaah!! Classic story!! *claps hands in delight! Justice had been served!! Yippeee!!
In my workplace, there are a few Aussies who are very racist. Thankfully, most of the Aussies are lovely folks and a few of them make really good pals.
I was very touched when a few of them came up to me to cheer me on when I was assigned to the ICU because they knew how much I longed to be posted there. -

Yr story is goodI have gotten nothing but horrible service from Quantas and I swore never to fly with them again.
1st time it was poor service
2nd time there was discrimination involved so Quantas can kiss my money goodbye
I have no complaints of SIA though in terms of service. But the way they treat their staff..... actually no need to hear about this case to know about it -_-"
-
well ... I don't really mind people from different backgrounds being racist towards me .... okie, rather, I can understand it and try to rationalize it ....
but what I cannot stand, is for people from my own race being racist towards me too ! ... I mean, what the fark ! .... and this has happened to me more often than run ins with rednecks ..... in Singapore too ! ...
I think this is a very uniquely asian phenomenon .... or specifically, it's something you can find only among the Chinese and the Indians ... we are terrible towards our own kind sometimes ....

My mom and her tour group encountered discrimination on board Quantas. And I've heard of other accounts about poor service on board Quantas too. That's why unless I'm heading to a domestic location, I will still stick to SQ.

Quantas = aussie people = racist ma
And all along. I felt that SIA is rather Safe compare to the others. SO die die travel also must Take SIA. Their staffs are all right to me but maybe there are just some blacksheeps around that pull down the service standard? So let's be fair to some of the crews. I've met some really nice stewardess too. As for the management of SIA, i guess they need to do something to their staffs welfares.. SUPER CHUI. no wonder so many ppl jump to emirate la..

First the F1, now this.
Passengers stranded by A380 glitch
Scott Rochfort
- February 19, 2008 - 2:52PM
Singapore Airlines has encountered its first major technical glitch with its four-month-old A380 super jumbo, which forced it to cancel a flight from Singapore to Sydney last night leaving 70 passengers stranded without a hotel room.
The airline has confirmed it was forced to ground the Airbus jet overnight due to a problem with a fuel pump.
"It was a difficult delay. A problem presented with a fuel pump, and this is the sort of problem that doesn't show till engine start-up,'' said the airline's head of corporate affairs Stephen Forshaw.But Mr Forshaw said the problem which does "occur from time to time with aircraft generally'' was exacerbated when a replacement pump did not solve the glitch.
Given the Singapore Air's second A380 was undergoing maintenance, Mr Forshaw said the flight had to be replaced with a Boeing 747-400.
"Obviously, a 747-400 can't carry as many passengers as an A380, so we've had to transfer around 70 passengers to alternative flights today,'' he confirmed via an email.
According to Changi Airport's web site the 747 replacement flight left nine hours late.
"We're very sorry for the inconvenience caused to customers by the long delay, and especially the nature of it, with a lack of certain departure time,'' said Mr Forshaw.
"Given the time of night, we explored transferring all customers to hotels till the defect was repaired, to allow them to get some rest.
"Unfortunately, with the Singapore Airshow on this week, there were not sufficient hotel rooms to be able to accommodate those affected,'' he said.
Mr Forshaw was the delay was ``most unfortunate'' given the high reliability of the world's largest passenger jet since its entry into service last October.
Last month, Airbus boasted the A380 delivered to Singapore Air last October had been operating between Sydney and Singapore ``around 15 hours per day with a 100 per cent technical reliability''.
Singapore Air introduced its second A380 on the route in mid-January. Singapore Air's morning departure from Sydney left only 20 minutes late this morning, given the replacement 747 had enough seats to carry the ``booked load''.
The jet encountered its first mishap last month when it rolled off the tarmac onto a grass verge at Singapore's Changi Airport after coming loose from a tow truck. -

SIA girls are very polite, once a stewardess's backside touched my front part when she bent down to take something.She immediately said sorry, but in my heart I was happy bcos of the body contact. Wife will of course jeolous but not to the extend of slapping her.
