I'm curious if any experts on this forum know if there many non-asian male FAs on CX? This is the first one I've ever seen. From my quick observation:
1. He was definately wearing CX FA uniform with the signature tie featuring CX tail design although I did not see the purple blazer (understandable given the hot subway)
2. I doubt he is ground agent; had the standard CX FA carry-on/trolley suitcase (without any yellow FA tag though)
3. Probably not flight crew since i don't believe FO or Captain uses those ties and no stripes on his shirt.
Since it was around 7:30pm July 22, I assumed he either got off from CX830 (arrives around 2pm) or on his way to CX889. Anyone on those flights care to confirm whether I was hallucinating?
Very curious. Thanks.
As in SQ>.. there are no pure caucasian cabin crew. Chances are he is of Eurasian decsent. But why is he travelling alone and not with the rest of the crew? CX does not have any FAs based in NY and thus he could not possibly be a cabin crew member.
It could be that he is flight crew based in NY (there are many flight crews based in NY.. even though the majority of them are Canadian and living in Vancouver/Toronto. So they have to commute)... if you didn't see his blazer. Cabin crew's uniform do not have 'stripes'. Flight crew wears the same tie as cabin crew.. with the swept wing design. And if you're talking about the 'stripes' on his shoulders... well, they DO detach, you know. So as not to draw attention that they fly aeroplanes when they are in a public place... say in a SUBWAY.
