A few answers from Singapore
Nowadays SLF but before, UK RAF.
But as someone who lives in sing I can tell you that fire trucks taking a short cut would not have turned out well.
I can also say, re the latest videos posted, the voice attributed to an FA is not an FA. That is a filipina accent. SQ uses sing staff. Totally different accent. It was a passenger. Good point she made, but not an SQ FA.
Bottom line. Me. Evac evac. There is no escaping the obvious. What the report might say is one thing. But I am 99.9% sure the guys at the pointy end will be looking for new jobs..... Rightly so.
