Hmm.. let's see... so the FAs saw me boarding the aircraft and tell their colleagues, "Hey, let's do that no priority disembarkation thing again to get on Mr. StarG's nerves... "

At this rate of travel on SQ, you will be a TPP in no time.
By the way, I saw the new PPS card again somewhere in SKL SIN a few days ago, and I agree the new card is far less glamorous than the old one.

I have to make the SIN-KUL shuttle about once a month, so those are strictly back of the bus.

No curtains were drawn for disembarkation between J and Y on my flight to BKK earlier this evening. The IFS said that they'd been leaving them open for a couple of months now.
Slightly OT, my last three SQ flights out of SIN this month haven't had any priority boarding enforced as well. Sure, the pre-boarding announcement was made, but before the actual boarding announcements the ground staff have opened the glass doors to the aerobridges and just waved everyone through before walking off.

Flew MEL-LHR and back last week in J, and in both directions they had priority disembarkation on the SIN-LHR leg, but none on the MEL-SIN leg. In fact it was pretty annoying on the SIN-MEL leg, as c-class cabin was over-run soon after landing, making it a struggle to get baggage out of over-head bins.
Perhaps they are only doing it on the 747 routes ? (the MEL-SIN legs were on a 777-300)

My experience in SIN in regards to priority boarding is 50-50. Sometimes enforces, sometimes gate agent is just to busy with announcements and didn't care about the boarding order.
Hmm.... interesting. It just occured to me that ALL my flights with no priority disembarkation were B777s.
