Why? It makes perfect sense. In flight service runs according to a formula. The no. of permutations of what can go wrong in the air is relatively small. So a strictly drilled and implemented standard operating procedure works well.

But on the ground a far larger no. of things can and do go wrong. No SOP can cover everything adequately, so there is a need to rely on human initiative. And we all know that SQ excels at this...
