Steward's sugar mommy story.
Ted was a boastful and conceited senior steward. He thought he was handsome and tall when he was not. His ambition in life was to be a gigolo meaning making a living off rich women by satisfying them sexually.

As the ladies were busy chatting and eating,I started to wander around the house. I adjourned to the toilet and wanted to ease myself but heard a man's groan coming from a small room. Slowly, I opened the door and was shocked to see a pale old man tied to the bed. He was about 60 years old and looked pale and sick. He tried to tell me something but just couldn't understand him. His voice was soft and feeble. He mentioned something about Victoria. I couldn't figure out what he was trying to tell me.
We bumped into each other about a year ago. We could instantly recognised one another. She was one of my favorite stewardess trainees way back in 1979. She was 18 when she joined SIA and so she must be 48 now. Pretty,dashing and looking sophisticated,she was very different from what I knew of her. We have not seen each other since she left SIA only after flying for about 8 months.
I can name a few capts who earned the respect of the cc. They were Capt. Choy,late Capt MS Leong, late Capt Tommy Sung, Lenny Howe, Khairy,Freddy Koh, Albert Koh, Aubrey Tan and many others whom I cannot recalled at this moment.
At the same time there were idiotic capts who were hated by cc. These capts were petty,greedy,demanding and arrogant. There was one who would personally check the first class ovens to see that the lobsters were not eaten by the cc but reserved for him (he has since kicked the bucket for eating too many free lobsters,I supposed). Another few demanded the cc introduced themselves to him and his tc before the flight began. Others would merely talked to the stewardesses throughout the flight and ignored the male crew (chee koh peh type). There were some who would pretend to be nice to the cc-in-charge so they could get their chioce of f&b.
Those who earned the respects from cc were capts who were not the petty types and would come to the defence of the cc against nasty paxs. The also had the cc welfare at heart eg. they would make sure that cc had enough meals on the flight.

These days,the relationship between the 2 divisions are much better. Capts are more understanding towards cc and the daunting task they face when serving full loads of passengers. In fact,SIA resolves the issue by adding a criteria in the promotion of co-pilots to capts. The issue of getting along well with cc is also an important aspect of promotion of pilots. The pilots who are competent in their flying technicalities and abilities must also be good in crew relationship and man management skills or otherwise would not be made a capt.
In the old days,if one can fly well and sucked up to the bosses would be promoted. The aspect of human relationship was not important. That resulted in us having capts who were poor in man management.
I also found out more and more gals wanting to marry pilots even though the salaries of pilots or at least the purchasing power of their money is not as strong as before. Why is it so? The answer may be due to the better understanding and rapport between the pilots and cc.
Pilots and cc pls correct me if I have gone wrong in posting the above....thank U!
The other nite I dreamt of "soaring" in the sky but not ina SIA's plane. It was another airline I was with. I was the chief purser (equivalent of IFS in SQ la ah gong gong...hehehe). Then I saw all those stewardesses in our cabin NAKED serving the passengers. I can't believed what I saw and started to rub my eyes. I knew I was somewhere but not in reality realm.
One of the stewardesses then called me saying "hey boh tong don't just stand there and look at us, help us ok?" "Touch my tits and see whether they are firmed or not cos our company insist that all gals must have big firmed boobs.." I proceeded to gently feel her breasts and they felt warm and spongy. I told her she passed the co's test and all of a sudden she took me by my hand and led me to the Suite that was "beyond first class"...u know like the one on SQ A380. She pinnd me down on the bed and started to strip her uniform. Now I remember her uniform looked like the ones SQ gals wear. But it was different bcos the designer was a China man by the name of How Lian. Mind, I was so confused bcos I don't know where I was.....u know like in most dreams...
The next thing I realised when I wanted to strip myself and have that stewardess, I was in a cafe in London. It was strange because I have not been to London for the last 2 years. I was with a lady passenger of mine. She was a blond with blue eyes, about 30 years old and she was rubbing my thigh under our table. I felt sexually aroused and I took her back to Gloucester.
He was my ex colleague and a great guy.He was offered a better paying job with an Indian airline and so he packed up and left for India. As a cabin crew trainer,his salary came up to S$12,000 per month. In SIA, JK was paid about half the amount. The gratuity he got from SIA after serving 30 years came to about 150k. JK was a happy and contented man and an envy of other trainers inSIA.
But 8 months into his new job in India,JK wanted throw in the towel.The office politics almost killed him. He was shocked to discover so much back stabbing going on in the office. His GM ( Wormy) felt intimidated by his presence. JK was an efficient trainer,majoring counselling with an MBA. His GM was an ex flight steward with an Asian airline who rose to his rank by sucking up to his bosses.
The chairman of this Indian airline like JK because he was an able trainer. He was promoted after a short while to the position of a manager. GM Wormy became intimidated and conspired with the training manager (Mikey) to get rid of JK.
One evening, Wormy and Mikey invited JK to one of their apartments for a party. JK was told that one of their Indian stewardesses was celebrating her birthday. JK accepted and arrived at Wormy's apartment punctually that evening.
In a short while after Jk arrived at Wormy'sapartment,some 5 Indian stewardesses knocked at the door. These girls were stunningly beautiful and full of sex appeal.They were specially chosen by Wormy to attend the party.
After several rounds of cocktail drinks, they started to eat their dinner of lamb masala,curries etc. They began to chat and made small talk.
Following dinner,the girls started to dance to the rock music put on by Wormy. One by one the girls began to strip to their bras and panties and danced like professional belly dancers. They swayed their bums and lowered their breasts right in front ofJK,trying to seduce him.
Jk had a hard-on and but disciplined himself, refraining from fondling the sexy girls. Jk knew very well what could happen to him should he touched any of these stewardesses,be it off or on duty. He learnt of the consequences he would face if they accused him of molest during his SIA days. Besides,he suspected Wormy and Mikey were trying to fix him up.
Jk tried holding his drinks and not get drunk.
Throughout the night,Jk did not misbehaved himself. There was no chance of Wormy fixing him up. The cctv captured nothing of JK'smisbehaviour. Wormy and Mikey were truly disappointed.
Guess what? Jk managed to get one of the girls back to his apartment without the knowledge of Wormy or Mikey. Jk was good at discreetly taking Leila home. After all,Leila took a liking to JK. Which stewardess won't when JK a seniorexecutive coupled with his youthful looks was behaving like a gentleman in the wild sexy party......more later.

Sim Kay Wee is voted by my readers as the best SVPCC ever! Sim left SIA just after he "retired" us CCEs and AMs. Unfortunately for Sim who had served SIA in the management positions loyally left SIA without getting a cent. He left the company because he could not get along with his bosses. Yet he was the man who got us the "Golden Handshake" back in 2003.

Later after the polls have closed I would give my opinion of the svps we had worked under. Good or bad,I will be honest with my views.Can only think of a few managers with whom I enjoyed working for. These bosses are decisive and supportive. They didn't worry too much about their svps and dare to make decision without much consultation. Many times,they were being screwed for that. Nevertheless their decisions to discipline or take corrective measures etc had earned much respect and admiration from people like us. Here,I would like to name 2 managers who were admirable and they were the late Mr. Cyril Teo and Mr. Edward Lim whom I believed left SQ and joined Emirates Airlines in the 1980s.
Labels: Cyril Teo, Edward Lim
I will touch on the former first i.e. having bad bosses.Having good bosses or seniors is an important aspect of working life.It either kills your motivation to work harder or makes you look forward to going to work everyday.
Over a long period of time working for SQ,I have worked under more lousy bosses than good ones.
The managers were the worst lot. Most were back-boneless creatures who would sucked up to their svps or seniors. They were indecisive and adopted the "don't rock the boat" attitude. Working under such bosses was very discomforting,demotivating and frustrating.
Just to illustrate what do I mean was a case whereby one of my colleagues, a trainer CCE was shouted at and scolded by a TRAINEE stewardess in the presence of the whole class was told by his training manager to give the rude trainee a second chance. The CCE recommended the girl be sacked.
Another case was a TRAINEE steward who defied and challenged the trainer to sack him was let off the hook by the training manager. Fortunately for the division,svp Thoeng overruled and sacked that gangster-like trainee.
The main reason for not wanting to dismissed those rude and arrogant trainees was "too much admin work would be involved and have to answer to many questions etc..."
Crew who had strong link with the union were also let off the hook even though they had committed serious offences ....reason? want to maintain good relations with the union. Other crew were sacked and some was even referred to the police eg. chief steward Jimmy Woon's case. Worst still would be those who openly opposed the union.
Well well,I hope the current managers and senior staff aren't like those during my time.
