Interesting to see even after 11 years of PRC sovereignty over HK, the Honkie girls still give themselves fantasy/film star names.
Yet you give yourself a duck's name and nobody mocks you ... unless you count this post.

Give'm a break, FFS!

local crew

i agree with some of the comments on a 'vacant' reaction but it's been cx policy to only hire(with few exceptions)hk local crews the last few years.almost 2/3rds or more of all crews are now CT on the crew list.Most of these are new,the turnover is horrendous,they're on really crappy pay and contracts,and the attitude to 'service' is really starting to show.it's not necessarily a local hk thing but a product of min pay and very little training along with zero pride in the job...why bother if you only intend staying a year?
cx get what they pay for and the girls can obviously see what the more senior crew contracts are......ring a bell?
they're understandably ticked off and cockpit crew, sniffing around in the galleys during meal service and asking to be fed on the ground, are irritations to be tolerated.given the appalling manners of some junior (and not so junior cockpit crew) i dont blame them for ignoring you.

....or Fanny Bang

Which could translate as meaning:

1. Instructions of what to do.

2. The ultimate in chastity protection


"Kanus" is another name I have seen.

'Porn' is still my fav , yeah I know she's Thai, and that's her actual name, but still brings a smile . Tho having said that, perhaps I should check out what my name means in different lingos before I hand out too much grief!


'Thankyou for the friiiiiiiiight'

thread baron,

before you attack teal's name, check what the name of the main colour of cx is.

While you're there, I think you should have another look at what the 2 Ps in PPRuNe stand for.

GenDec's list the crew names in the following order:

Chinese Last name (surname)/Chinese First Name/English name ("christian name")

I kid you not...

Chu My Fanny

I kept it, it's framed, scanned and circulated...

Only In Hong Kong.

When I was on the -400, I flew with an ISM who is named "Pussy".
....I bit my lip to stop laughing in front of her as I introduced myself.

How about Pussy Galore's replacement, Felicity Shagwell?

"Shagwell by name, shag very well by reputation". "Oh be-have". "Not if I can help it".

Looks like this thread has wandered off down a different path...

Nitpicking 101

Actually Teal, being the pedantic pr!ck that I am:

...the successor to "Pussy Galore" was actually "Alotta Fagina"!



PS and yes, we now have the EICAM Master Warning >THREAD DRIFT.

I flew back to HK from Singapore on CX716 at 18:20 last friday night and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

The Flight Attendants were polite, attentive, efficient and professional.

I was also impressed with the new economy seat and IFE system. Well done CX.

I retract my previous statement.

Shame the girls don't wear higher heels though.

Shoot, then you will have the FD crew taking turns to stretch out in the cabin on their hands and knees sniffing the fishnets as they walk by??

Don't you miss the ginger beers...

'Cabin attendants, please prepare your drawers for the arrival'

Fortunately, it went through to the keeper on most occasions
