Not so much thick passenger, as ar$ehole passenger comments - Tuesday's SQ958 SIN - CGK, Singaporean "gentleman" in 32G calls the CC and demands a headset. "I'm sorry sir," says the lass, "we don't issue headsets as it's short flight". It's 1 hr 15 mins max, so take out the climb and descent and you've got around 55 mins of viewing time.
Singaporean goes very red in the face and berates the lass for not having a headset for him and demands the CSD's presence. She scoots off to find him. Passenger then gets up and retrieves his bag and extracts a large set of Bose noise-cancelling headphones, places them on his head and watches TV.
CSD then appears but his apologies are cut off by a curt wave of the hand from passenger who doesn't even speak to the CSD. At the end of the flight, the CSD returned and apologised again, to be off-handedly dismissed again!
How do SIA CC put up with this??
