SIA Girl's standards dropping?

Aiyah, nothing will make the difference lah.
Whatever English they previously spoke, once they see angmohs, they will immediately change to speaking keh angmoh accent English.
Yes Sirrrrr......No Sirrrrrr......take me now Sirrrrr......ooooh Sirrrrrr, I lerve you so much. -
Oh Sirrrr....I like angmorrrr so much. I don't like Asians. I look down on Asian one Sirrrrr.....

Poor SIA best trainee. She was probably just nervous, and the writer hads to pick on her. Why should we base if the best trainee is suitable just on the ceremony alone? There's a difference between standing in front of a plane, and standing in front of a stage, and having 2 give a speech.

[b]SIA's best trainee can't speak well. More training needed to upkeep airline's image
I attended a graduation ceremony recently for SIA cabin crew and I was disappointed at the level of language competency of the "Best Trainee" when she gave her speech to a diverse audience, which included visitors from abroad.
I cannot be more embarrassed and was saddened that she was unable to recite the SIA Pledge. She struggled to recall the words on stage until fellow crew members came to her rescue.
As a Singaporean, I take pride in having SIA as our national carrier, which is internationally recognised after winning many awards, one of which is the 'World's Best Cabin Service'.
I have been told of the rigorous selection process in recruiting the cabin crew and I believe they go through stringent tests in the four months' training provided by the company.
However, the incident appalled me and I wonder if that is the standard of commitment and proficiency that we should showcase to the world.
The Singapore Girl has an image to uphold. I hope that this incident will not happen again.
I urge the management to take action so as not to tarnish the company's reputation. Perhaps a course on personal confidence and speech competency can be included in the training.
If this is already part of the training, I hope that SIA will put more emphasis in this area. The ability to speak and react calmly will help in the delivery of service.
The Singapore Girl after all is a world class icon that we are proud to have.

That's kinda true... It's all about the money...Originally posted by Rock^Star:My friend with a diploma pay of $1,500 figured it would take him years to reach $3,000. So the next option is to fly for SIA, for the money of course.
But I still believe that good service comes from the heart... -
why must go china hire?

A few times? Then there is a serial banger there?Originally posted by Rock^Star:They don't bang in the cockpit lah
. Either the first officer or capt will be there and they will risk termination by SIA. They do it in the sleeping area. My steward friend ever found condoms there a few times.
Ok here is a real story. I was once staying in a hotel near a Chinese airport. There are stewardesses staying there too.
I was adjusting the bed and moving it around, and I found a used condom underneath the bed.
How come, the person never threw away properly, but chose to hide it under the bed? Like a kid hiding a chocolate. So stupid right? -

They need not worry... since their PR managers will answer for them, that they were in "loss for words" during the emergency.Originally posted by FireIce:din know SIA practise springing surprises

That's why they have been losing out in the Best Airline Service Crew award for the last five years to Malaysian Airline (2002), Thai Airline (2003), Asiana Airline (2004), Emirates Airways (2005) and Cathay Airline (2006)...Originally posted by Ponders:They need not worry... since their PR managers will answer for them, that they were in "loss for words" during the emergency. -
who here feel like when they are on SIA flights...
the SIA girls serves you because she is obliged to
rather than she serves you because she is sincere in providing good service? -

They treat it as their job to get over with rather than as a passion to do it... -

Tizi Melissa Othman wrote that it was the language competency that was disappointing, what's it got to do with being overwhelmed by the occasion?
SIA is just like S'pore, hardly admit to mistakes. -
