I doubt it would count, especially seeing as how it didn't exist when those agreements were written. I think QR would jump at this opportunity, and I'm sure the government would welcome them with open arms.

Pointless to have built that airport there then - that would be a truly disastrous outcome.

Given the airport is 24x7 - why not do a middle of the night flight to give people more time options?

I'm sure the fees will be cheaper, and maybe even some intro sweeteners - they can create demand by aggressively discounting flights, backed by airport rebates.

Yours is a philosophical point of view more so than a practical one. Once again - what is the definition of bad turbulence? How can we predict it? I think we can all agree it's not really possible. My only point here has been that SQ did not get the balance right on their initial overreaction...

It's good, but we need way more - many more lines, and all existing lines modernised to the new standard. 24x7 driverless trains will be cheap to run, and aid the 24x7 economy Sydney has been longing for.

I don't think we're ever going to agree on most of the things, but to this point - isn't it obvious what SQ has done - which is try and toe a middle ground of risk, in that they are willing to have flight attendants to take marginally more risk in order to deliver the expected amount of service...

This is all very arbitrary. Who defines what is too much risk? What are the thresholds? Is it personal judgement? Can we get an AI to be an impartial judge? What is the definition of "high enough risk" as well? Obviously SQ doesn't feel like there is equivalence between flight attendants and pax...

Yes, float = float on the market, in other words via IPO (or SPAC, but we don't do that anymore). Yes, Bain can sell whatever portion of the company to whomever they want - bearing in mind, the more stake it sells, the harder it will be to align interests in terms of running the company until...

What exactly can we learn? What is your solution? I agree it is unpredictable, and nobody knows when it will happen, which is why I reiterate once more... Unless you want to strap everyone in for 100% of the time of the flight, there is nothing to be done - you simply have to accept the risk...

Thank you for making my point - nobody knows, which is why such overreactions are not going to help anyone.

They have survived and thrived in business for decades without it, so I think it's pretty obvious that it wasn't needed - it was just done to placate media.

How is it made up? Unless you are constantly experiencing turbulence that will injure you, by definition the seat-belt was not necessary - it was a precaution, but it turned out not to be needed. So who has more experience here, SQ or you? You were quick to jump to their defense when they...

They aren't necessary 99% of the time - they are just born to mitigate risk. Again you and your opinions - first you say the captain should determine when they light up and it was correct, so now it's not correct? So are the pilots no longer determining when to use them? Were they before? But...

Thanks for sharing - I'm doing this in a few weeks and also have the 6h slot. I am wondering - how strict are they with the 6 hours? Do they count from the minute you check in or something? I will likely get there around midnight local time.

I travel to AMS a lot so I can probably help. Singapore airlines always does their EU early bird sale in September - so you won't have to wait long. In the last few years, I've always been able to get around 6k return trip SYD - FRA. AMS tends to be one of the more pricy airports to fly to...

Common sense prevails - SQ resumes doing meal service when seat belt sign is on: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/sia-resumes-meal-service-when-seat-belt-sign-is-on-lifts-stricter-rules-after-sq321-incident-in-may

You can always dispute - that's not a credit card thing, that's a payment company thing (ie. visa, mastercard, amex, etc).

Irrelevant. Revolut for example: You can argue semantics all you like, but both revolut and wise keep money in liquid securities and within the country, it is simply not possible to lose any money with them, in addition to it being highly unlikely that anything will happen to these services...

Quite likely I guess!
