After the extreme turbulence on flight SQ321, Singapore Airlines is taking further action. However, the new rules are now causing discontent among travelers. The cabin crew is also anything but enthusiastic.
While Singapore Airlines has previously only stopped serving hot drinks and meals, the crew must now also fasten their seat belts at all times when the seat belt sign is on – even if the shaking is not very strong. The service is therefore stopped.
According to an article in the newspaper “The Straits Times”, the measure is now being criticized by crews and travelers. Depending on the route, the seatbelt sign comes on relatively often. And if the crew has to interrupt the service every time, this ultimately leads to time pressure. Especially because travelers are also complaining about the lack of service, according to a source in the newspaper.
One flight attendant reported that crew members had to make adjustments, such as no longer offering drinks after take-off in order to have time to serve food. “The reactions of the passengers vary – some are very understanding, others feel ignored,” is the assessment so far.
A real parking ticket war has broken out in an Aldi parking lot in Monheim am Rhein. The discounter has leased its parking lot to a private company. Since then, strict parking rules have been in place – with consequences. The city is taking a confrontational approach. Now Aldi Süd is also reacting.
