I will bring duct tape to my next flight and will fixate all cabin crew before take off to ensure no one can move. I think this is safer.

Of course, in the grand scheme of things, meal timing does not compare against injuries during turbulence, but completely moving the meal service by 2-3 hours is definitely a non-starter. I imagine this would wreak havoc on their SIN-EWR and SIN-JFK "longest flights in the world" with 3 full meal services...
Yes, this is ridiculous. They had all the information beforehand to change SOP off the back of the BA incident one year ago (and BA have not changed a thing in all my flights with them since and are similar to SQ’s prior to last week’s incident).

I am as loyal an SQ customer as they come but these changes beggar belief.
