Film at 11

I've posted some video clips from the flight on YouTube. Here's a link to the playlist. Alcoans who want to see these may have to view them from home, depending on firewall security. We will post these inside the system soon.

One thing I realized after watching these videos over again: the people from Singapore Airlines, from the gregarious Chairman Seng on down to the steward who sat opposite us in the jump seat, looked and acted like they were having fun doing this.

Yet they had to be going through the service scenario from hell: they couldn't get their carts through the aisles because of the non-stop Mardi Gras. They hadn't had 'live' training on the A380 for cabin service. And, like any great party, everybody was hanging out in the kitchens! My hat's off to them for smiling, heck, laughing their way through one of the most high-pressure events of their careers, doing an incredible job, with international network news cams all over them. A truly amazing group.
