You are out of luck, SIA won't tell you who she was! Just have to keep flying and hope for the best.

Hi everyone. Can someone tell me what the interview process is like? After passing round 1 , when do the rest of the 3 rounds take place? Is it during the next few days? I would like to know how many days of leave i might have to take from my current job to attend all the interviews if i do get selected.

Europeflyer, why didn't you get that information before you departed the plane or waited to ask her for contact details as she left the plane? Good Luck. If its meant to be, you'll get find her again.

I don't think she would be allowed to give out her personal information although it seems e-mails are OK. Since your husband's a pilot maybe you know something I don't? He will have a hard time finding her again despite my frequent flights and numerous trips around the airport, of the girls I would like to have seen again I never have.

tx buddies, well good question Matney, too shy and only realized after the fact what a true beauty that girl is......

would be an expensive hobby to fly that route again and again....

anyway, eye contact was 'above
average'..... but maybe that's only my imagination....

thanks again

stumbled upon this thread and i thought i'd like to share my new life as a SQ girl.

i've been flying for more than a month now. and so far, i'd say most of the crew are really nice people.. i feel really lucky to have had a bunch of really close batchmates to provide support for each other in our flying life. we'll meet up during our off days to share our experiences.

prolly 95% of all the crew that i've worked with. they're quite patient and would correct me tactfully if i had done anything wrong. the greens and reds are much much nicer than wat i had expected. i would say at this point of time, i do enjoy flying.. although as time goes by day in and day out we're doing the same mundane thing over and over again.. newpapers, towels, headsets, handing out trays, cleaning toilets.

i realised that there are alot of grey areas.. certain thing that u do might be correct for certain ppl, while others may think your doing the wrong thing. similarly, i guess there's only a thin line between zapping and correcting. my definition of zappy crew are those specially out to make life on board as difficult for u as they can. such as "i dont wanna see your F* face in the galley". sometimes working with "zappy crew" are not a bad thing. it makes me more aware and conscious about my work on the next flight. when i got zapped on my flights, i'd be thinking if there's anything wrong with myself, my attitude or behaviour? to all the junior crews who have jus started out like me, i wud say dont give yourself too much pressure and keep on thinking that the problem lies with ourselves. sometimes zappy crews are just unhappy people and hopes to find happiness from zapping junior crews. i feel sorry for them. dont hide in the hotel room and cry during nightstops, love yourself. there was once when i got zapped by a not-so-senior GS, i felt reli upset but the moment i saw the payroll, i felt it was all worth it. =)

demanding paxs, zappy crew are all part of the job. i dont have any complains looking at the kind of $$ we're earning.. and the best thing bout this job, you dont bring any work home. =)

That's about it, in almost any large organization you will find those who demean others to hide their own sense of inadequacy.

akiheartfelt: thanks! i miss my training days so much. i'm sure u'll realise that ur frens outside will never understand your job when u start to fly. do treaure ur training days, they're the only ones who will reali understand what CC life is all about.. =)

plavt: yeah.. even more so when its a uniform group and everyone is so particular bout seniority..
