As far as they know, it's due to competitive reasons. I think they remove the IFE stuff like the LCD screen and electrical controls but all of them get destroyed. I once saw a whole bunch of seats being taken apart in western Singapore in an industrial estate, for scrap. Can remember exactly where but I confirmed with the guy that those were SIA seats. -
Saw it in the hangar in all white livery 2 days ago.Originally posted by wsssaero View PostComment

Yes, poor old Party Girl. Sarong or Singapore, whatever you want to call her. My last flight on a 744 was on/in her (cough), and I made a point of bringing up a discussion of SPG's with the crew. Strangely enough the fresh-out-of-SQ-boot-camp FSS didn't get what I was on about but the LSS's did.

9V-SMU is no longer in the SIAEC hangar visible from the T1 viewing mall as of last night. Anyone knows if she's still in SIN?Comment

Anyone know which 744 is the one which does FRA-SIN? Or when it will get taken away from us

All active 744s get assigned to SQ25/26 over time. It's quite random: you can't predict which individual frame will get assigned to 26 more than a day or two ahead of time (although the fleet dispatchers doubtless have a plan in mind longer than that).Originally posted by coffeeblack View PostAnyone know which 744 is the one which does FRA-SIN?

I remember in 2000 when they rolled out the new F, J and Y class with 9V-SPK (RIP)...ads were all over magazines, billboards and newspapers. It heralded a whole new era in the aviation world!
Investment for these seats had been paid many times over since its intro till retirement. Perhaps low selling value as well. Not to forget competitive reason. I wonder why SQ didn't license out the design like what VS did with their herringbone design in J class. earn some more bucks!
I had the privilege of sitting on one of the F seat in 9V-SMU last Dec, took loads of pix. the Chief Steward was very pleasant guy, name is Vincent i think.Comment

Some airlines have sold used First Class seats to frequent fliers. I don't recall SQ doing so.Originally posted by jul247 View PostComment

SIA don't do that. They remove the IFE parts and the seats are collected by a vendor who takes them somewhere in Kranji and crushes them.Originally posted by zvezda View PostComment

9V-SPA has been withdrawn. The other seven are still active.Originally posted by CRJ View PostComment
