If you take the local steward/dess, you got more chances to go far,
especially the our good Malay brothers and sisters, it either
woodlands or panjang...but also can get Bedok..sian
Whether local or FT crews, most got chance, will definitely want
to stay closer to Airport.....
Why?.....
Every month, once their schedule cum out, minimum will be
roasted to fly chow chow 8 times, mixture of long haul and short
flight......
So 8 times, meaning taking taxi thru and flo, will be 16
times.....
Imagine staying at Jurong area, 16 times of cab fare you
know.....
Taxi allowances form part of their pay structure, so if can save
from taxi, meaning, take home pay will be higher lor......
These day, their flight allowance not as lucrative as long time
anymore.....
For eg, Sin-London flight is pay in pound, it use to be stop
over 5-7 days, so they get 5-7 days of flight allowance in pound,
nowadays, stop over might be 2-3 days only, some even straight turn
around......
So it actually indirectly cut down their pay......
Understand their job, than we will not get angry for nothing
lor......
I like to ferry kopi mei mei, better than ferry ah neh, aunty,
uncle or ah pek right?......
