Actually i believe there's a sticker you can take from the FA that asks them not to disturb you when you sleep. In any case, i guess its part of the package to help you sleep better. Pity it didnt work well for you!

When I get on the airplane, I very nicely tell the FA that if you wake me when I am asleep, I will transform into a cranky maniac and make the rest of the flight a living hell. I say this with a smile, and have never been disturbed. Ambien rocks, also.

1st-EWR-SIN is all business class with fixed tv's, so you technically cannot "put away" your tv and

2nd-singapore airlines is KNOWN for their top notch customer service.

If you are not a person who wants great customer service on a flight, then go ahead and get your ass off of singapore airlines and onto a us airline, where the fa's ignore you…even when you need something

How could one ever forget why they were formed?

There are 2 ways of making money:

1) provide something of value to the people for which they will be willing to pay.

2) threaten people with something so that they would give up their money to you from the fear of the threat.

UNIONS WERE FORMED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF METHOD #2!!!

Appropos of nothing…..

Isn't tech wonderful. I'm actually posting this from a plane. No he'll here so far, except it's about 80 degrees in here, and the mouthy a-hole boarding right in front of me stuffed his underseat sized bags into the overhead above my seat before proceeding 10 rows back to his seat, leaving no place for my bag.

It is easy to bash unions, and they certainly have their bad side, but maybe one should also remember why unions had to form in the first place.

Dont know about that. Delta still has some good semblance of customer service but it may be an anomoly.

unions are only good in certain fields, when it comes to customer service and the airline industry than it s just terrible for everyone

the workers slack off and dont care about others, they feel that they can do anything and not worry about consequences, this resulting in a total collapse in acceptable service and has created a tense and unhappy flying experiance

strikes are occuring, which they seem that they dont care about the actual passengers, they dont see consequences

I don't know if it is still the case but the UA haul from Narita to Singapore they changed the flight crew from the usual veterans to a pretty much exclusively Asian crew with different uniforms. Still UA but more in the traditional attendant uniform. The service was very different from the usual US service on the Asian flight legs, which was not as hostile as domestic but not on par with Euro or Asian airlines.
