Venom,
Would you feel comfortable sitting in first class with a "Singapore Boy's" arms and legs wrapped around the controls of a shiny big Boeing?
I find even the use of the word "girl" is so diminutive. Cat is right about the soft sex sell of the cabin crew. SIA would hate to lose that angle I'm sure.
I feel sorry for any females in Singapore who are educated and have a desire to fly. Because of discrimination they are denied their chance to enjoy a great career in their home state. Just what if a woman choses not to have children? Poor woman can't work as a pilot in SIA.
Must have children-lah.
