Dear SQ380 professionals,
On behalf of aviation enthusiasts across our sticky city I'd like to extend a cordial and warmly welcome to you and your flying machines, and this one very minor (well, major actually) request.
In a few short wonderful days you'll be ferrying your lovely machines to our delicate waters *cough* here in the fragrant *cough* harbour of Hong Kong for daily afternoon sojourns.
On your departures from our beloved runways, when rotating off of the sweet sultry tarmac, might you please refrain from scrambling your machines to the highest altitudes possible in those bloody futile attempts at reaching the stratosphere in record time, and instead consider cutting the weeds outside our airport's fences with your sultry richly scented engine fumes... cut the grass with your take-offs so-to-speak. Do a bit of dolphin spotting over the airport waters if you will. You might even announce to your plushly ensuited uber royal class passengers right on rotation, "If you look out your rightside window you may shortly smell dolphin breath ladies and gents, courtesy of Singapore Airlines."
Yes, these would make for infinite more photogenic departures, and the subsequent gorgeous shots of your shiny bulging masculinity gracing the lowest regions of our airspace framed against the soft oaken hills of South Lantau would add to the fame and fortune of SQ airlines everywhere... undoubtedly. And the advertising's free! All you have to do... is make it look good.
Thank you most humbly for your time and on behalf of aviation enthusiasts all across this sweating grungy hovel... welcome to Hong Kong!
Thank you for your time and attention. You may resume the weighty business of discussing your remunerations packages in exhausting detail.
