i have never had any poor or bad cabin service on sia. the crew are extremely helpful and accommodating. on united, i had at least 3 bad experience:
(1) short-staffed flight - a solo and new stewardess in my section started serving meals at the front rows first as i was sitting in the rear (which was ok), but she started clearing trays at the rear rows first which meant i only had less than 5 minutes to gulp everything down an hour before landing. she was in a rush too and just grabbed trays while passengers were still eating. there was no help from other crew.
(2) an older stewardess served me coffee at the end of a meal but came back later and poured tea into my cup half-filled with coffee without even asking. that was my introduction to hk yinyang beverage, by accident.
(3) 2 very old stewardesses were in my section, and they were extremely slow and deliberate with service. i told them not to serve me after seeing them moving like the disabled and i went to sleep.
there were nice moments. had great conversations with an older blond cougar throughout much of the flight, and she spirited a couple of bottles of unopened bordeaux from 1st class to my seat. i kept one for over 10 years.

that reminded me of the safety announcement "items in the overhead compartment may shift." this black dude kept fidgeting with his brief case in the overhead compartment, and it fell hard on the head of a female passenger below. ouch! she cried in pain, but luckily the flight took off without further incident.

they should also have one more announcement for the other specie - who are fond of doing this and subjecting others to their bo....in hindi
Actually my experience with most of the airlines that I taken, have been good. Normally I am courteous and friendly with the crew, and they reciprocate, vice versa. As I mentioned earlier, I normally fly Asian airlines like TG, Cathay, EVA, Emirates, (JAL also) and previously MAS. For SQ, usually for my business trips.
So far, the least friendly of the lot I mentioned above seems to be the crew from Emirates. I took 2 return trips. While their food is slightly better than the rest, their crew is somewhat unfriendly and indifferent. Not rude though. Also when I took an Emirates A380 flight from Dubai to Singapore, it wasn't as comfortable as SQ or TG A380. Dunno is that me or not.
I like MAS (no mistake) crew best and SQ second, they are friendly and nice. If not for the MAS 370 and MAS 17 incidents, I wouldn't mind flying MAS.
To me, all airlines food taste more or less the same. Emirate is slightly better.
For Business Class, I only flown SQ, EVA and Silkair. SQ food is the best.
I recalled the last time I took an ang moh airline was probably in 2001 or 2002, where Swiss Air and Finnair flies to Bangkok. So I am not sure if I want to take ang moh airlines or not to Tokyo. KNN, if I fly 6 hours and the crew face black black, then I sian liao!

You are right, if you show respect to the crew, they will reciprocate.
Emirates, they pride themselves for service. The ang moh stewardess should be polite. Maybe these are that odd cases of unpleasant experience. Ang moh stewardess should be nice, especially those from USA/Aust etc because these countries are multi-cultural. The European ones, like Finn Air, I'm not so sure, maybe some don't like to see an Asian face, so face black black.
Have experienced scenario (1) before. You must be so charming the older blond cougar treat you special
not bad but not as good as sia. instead of young nubile flight attendants, you have grannies serving you. they don't pamper you like sq girls, but they provide motherly love and cougar passion if you smile at them and display some yellow teeth.
The ang moh airlines have old grannies stewardess because they don't age-discriminate, they can work as stewardess till they retire.
Correct me if I am wrong, SQ is different, they don't have old grannies stewardess because the stewardess are taken off in-flight duties after they pass a certain age. Don't know when they are taken off in-flight duties, they are posted to ground duties or laid off.
okay lah but flight crew mostly elderly......... maybe for domestic leg only but dun expect chiobu for international flights
How flight attendants handle their best & worst passengers

A flight attendant's job first and foremost is to ensure the safety of passengers, according Thrillist.com, but when alcohol is served during a flight, some passengers can get out of hand.
The New York-based digital media group asked a seasoned flight attendant how they have been trained and found out the protocol on how to handle rowdy passengers during a flight.
The flight attendant revealed that a traffic light system is put in place to identify different types of drinkers.
Green is a happy drinker, yellow is someone who is starting "to lose it" and red means it is time to stop serving that person any more drinks.
A purser or a head flight attendant will alert the crew not to serve the person anymore and inform the passenger that they have been served their last drink.
This happens mostly in economy class, revealed the flight attendant.
In first class, the flight attendants will apparently let the passengers get away with more drinks since they pay a lot more for their ticket.
For some travellers, alcohol did not sit well with them during their journey.

10 things you should never say to flight attendants
Confessions of an air stewardess
Confessions of a cabin crew member
The flight attendant shared how a male passenger defecated all over the walls of the lavatory and vomited in the sink during a flight. After that, he realised he had lost his phone in the trash and even asked the flight attendant to help him locate it.
He apologised for his behaviour at the end of the flight and blamed it on the Ambien - a sedative for short-term treatment of insomnia - which he washed down with a glass of wine, according to the flight attendant.
The flight attendant also revealed that giving out free drinks is also their way of rewarding polite passengers like those who get up from their seat to request for something instead of ringing the bell.
Bringing the crew sweet treats like candy, cookies and especially chocolates can get the passenger free drinks too, added the flight attendant.

Intra Pacific sector, don't UA rely on asian crew? But across the Pacific into U.S., you kena old foggies club. This was my experience awhile back. Got to do with union or labour laws and practices, I guess.
Euro airlines similar fate, with big fräuleins throwing your economy meals like a pack of cards. Also asking, coffee tea or me?
Yes I flew United airline before once and the angmoh old stewardess threw economy meals to every seat. My friend who flew on another flight had the same kind of experience. Angmoh stewardess service cannot make it. In comparison, SIA stewardess service was very good then.
that's why the big 3 airlines in america are broke or losing money. they're dominated by union labor, and since labor cost constitutes a major part of expenses, there's hardly any room for running the business in the black. every labor contract cycle in a few years, the unions will threaten strikes if pay and benefits don't go up. they hold airlines hostage. worse is when workers who flout their seniority with high pay checks, obscene allowances, accumulated benefits and unsustainable pension plans have a lot of say in contract terms, they tend to stymy the hiring and promotion of younger and more enthusiastic workers for selfish reasons. these are unintended and undesirable consequences from unionized seniority-labor friendly policies and practice. it's actually a serious safety hazard to have 60 to 70-year olds working in the cabin on long haul flights. passengers may end up assisting these old geezers rather than the other way in an emergency.
public school teachers and postal workers in the u.s. are using the same labor practice. it's no surprise that both systems are broke and ineffectual.
by the way, i know of senior united cabin crew who own single family homes in palo alto where homes are averaging us$3-4m with 2500 sq. ft. of indoor space on a 6000 sq. ft. lot. and they are still flying with united although their children are all grown and have kids of their own.
Alamak, your info is history. They are rolling in big bucks now with all the fees. Many of the unions have been broken.

You are a union-hater, I suspect.
That's the true middle class lifestyle that all sinkees should have. But thanks to the PAP government, most will have to work till they die just to pay off their pigeon hole, education for their kids and then to supplement their meagre CPF.
united airlines no good. MAS cheaper , food better, and seat more comfortable. Fly MAS.
Had there not been the 2 incidents last hear, I would not mind flying MAS.
It is sinkies' ball-lessness fault for not protesting PAP and throw them out.. A very clear example of the karma of ball-lessness.
How cum last week MAS flight from Aus caught fire on one engine had to turn back news never came out hor?
