A new look for SQ Girls

[Gunnar Smithsen]

I believe you have encountered even a more rarer species of SQ. She was a female auditor and should have worn around her neck a golden yellow scarf. There are only 3 female auditors in SQ.

Otherwise known as a CTS (Check Training Superviser)

Actually, it is formerly known as CTS - Check Training Supervisor. Now they are called IA - Inflight Auditor.


And of course, I should congratulate the beautiful lady I met in many of my prior flights for her new higher level duty as an IA. Hope we will meet on board again someday. And once again, congratulations! You are the gems of Singapore Airlines!

How many male IAs are there, and what do they wear?

They wear the same suit but with a gold tie.

Rank Summary?

As usual, I'm a little behind the curve here . Would someone kindly summarize (1) the various ranks of in-flight personnel (with abbreviations spelled out), and (2) basic uniform features for each rank (old/new)?

I have read in bits and pieces a lot of this, but haven't seen one consolidated post with all the info. If this information is already somewhere, a link will do nicely.

Much appreciated. It will be nice to know who the "players" are on my upcoming debut SQ flight.

Ooh. I see. I was on a flight to Athens that I noticed this guy with a gold looking tie that I have not seen before. I was trying to figure out who he was.

Did you notice all the crew were "super on"?

Ranks for your basic SQ flight would include (but subject to changes)

IFS - In Flight Supervisor (see pics in earlier parts of this thread for a better colour description.
CS - Chief Steward
CSS - Chief Stewardess (red kebaya)
LS - Leading Steward
LSS - Leading Stewardess (green kebaya)
FS - Flight Steward
FSS - Flight Stewardess (unchanged)

You will also from time to time see FS/FSS with "gold" name tags, these are your trainee's - IIRC on the crew lists they show as GS/GSS

Can't remember the exact differences for the male crew other than the disguishing factor is the striping through the tie e.g a male IFS will have a similar colour stripe through his tie as the female IFS kebaya etc etc

What do you mean "super on"?

I thought China, Korea and Japan based crew also wear the golden name tag with their name in their native language?

SQ doesn't have China, Korea or Japan based crew. All crew are based in Singapore. The gold tags are worn by the crew who are hired from China(CHSS), Taiwan(TWSS), Japan (JSS) and Korea(KSS). SQ only recruits male crew from Singapore and Malaysia.

Trainees wear a "TRAINEE" tag above their normal name tag. IIRC, the trainee tags are the same color as the Singaporean/Malaysian crew tags.

Yeah yeah yeah! That was what I was trying to say. Thanks for correcting me. I remember seeing a couple of Filipino stewards though. Well, maybe they are holding on to Singapore nationality.

No such thing. They are still FS - FSS.

That's not true.
SQ has recruited guys from HKG.
SQ has no Filipino male crew, neither residence nor citizen of Singapore.

It's incorrect as well.
A trainee wears the trainee tag below the name tag.

When did they start recruiting HKG male FS? If so, why aren't they hiring HKG FSS as well?

Alright, below...

No need to roll the eyes. . Being on top or being below (read as bottom ) does make a different.
