Mr. businessman from Hong Kong what does all this have to with what goes on behind the cockpit door of SIA aircraft?

[JJflyer]

In US I would vote for South West Airlines.

I like the Peanuts and drinks served on their flights.

I always enjoy profiles such as Mr. Hong Kong businessman. How about this:

SIA
In violation of at least half a dozen articles of the Chicago Convention on air safety.
In violation of many of the ICAO annexes.
Operating not in accordance with the ICAO safety standards and recommended practices.
Haven't even gone into the maintenance area yet.

What does a travel magazine know about aviation safety?
A travel magazine only cares about wine labels and brand of caviar.

In closing, who ever thought the clean Swiss collaborated with the Nazis. Do you get my drift? You have now been educated Mr. Hong Kong business traveler.
Enjoy the service on SIA on your next trip.

Gladiator: "SIA In violation of at least half a dozen articles of the Chicago Convention
on air safety.

Operating not in accordance with the ICAO safety standards and recommended practices.

Powerful accusations - Well I guess they can't win all the violation prizes as well and I suppose there must be a lot of USA airlines ahead of them in those stakes.
Have a nice day.

Reported in Fortune Magazine October 11, sixteen carriers were ranked in the Airlines Industry list as "Most Admired Global Airline".

1. Southwest Airlines
2. Continental Airlines
3. British Airways

9. Delta Air Lines
10. Qantas Airways

"Reaching the top of FORTUNE's annual list of the world's most admired companies isn't easy. To make it, a company needs managers of genius, innovative products, financial stamina, global reach, and a fanatical devotion to shareholders. And if getting to the top of our list is hard, staying there is even tougher. Every year business moves just a bit faster, the competition gets a little more menacing, and the world seems slightly smaller. So how do our most admired companies manage to stay ahead, many of them dominating their industries year in and year out? It's not luck. No, try the other L word. Try leadership."

Gladis,
GET A LIFE, YOU SAD GIT!

[No Cigar]

I agree with you whole-heartedly, Seaman Staines. Some very deep hatred here I sense. But we all need a past-time of some sort I guess

[cyclops]

The only time lists are printed in Singapore are when Singapore or a Singaporean company/school is at the top of the list. Not a comment on Singaporeans, more on the type of government and its censorship.
