interesting article / blog post... some extracts... fantastic snippets...
"In other airlines like Qantas, there's NO ground duties to do. My dad's friend worked there. The crew just make themselves a cup of coffee and wait for passengers to board. But for SQ is different. The crew do everything because it saves $"
"The girls are the ones who face and serve passengers most. Our duties are all cabin-related. The boys are in the galleys. They are like a chef in the kitchen so most of the times, they just do galley work like heating up meals, preparing drinks, arranging stuff etc. The stewardesses are the ones who face the wrath of passengers most of the time."
"I think passengers are easier to deal with as compared to the crew. Once you have awesome crew, it's considered a good flight even though you have nasty passengers. In SQ, crew fear passengers but in other airlines, the passengers fear the crew. We cannot say no. This is really bad because it has led to some passengers being so spoilt, unreasonable and they demand for the moon."
"There was once I did this flight to Sydney. It was a A380, it can take 399 passengers in economy class so you can imagine the chaos. Sydney flights are really really tough and A LOT of crew always take MC for Sydney flights, yes it's THAT bad. You practically walk all the way to Sydney and you work until your panties become a G-string."
"EY on the other hand.... Everybody wants to eat everything and drink everything;lull period is not lull at all, the call lights go on and it's like a Christmas tree seriously, so many adhoc orders like biscuits, beer, drinks, gin tonic etc even AFTER meal service. It's really very scary sometimes. In business class however, lull period the crew are so free cause all the passengers are sleeping or doing their work. However I think this is only prevalent on SQ flights? When I took British Airways to London, NO BODY PRESSED THE CALL LIGHT AT ALL"
