SINGAPORE — When countries started easing Covid-19 curbs and airlines began operating more flights, former Jetstar Asia flight attendant Nicholas Lim, 30, was given the chance to return to the skies after spending four months being on the frontlines to help with patient care.

But it came at a cost — he was earning almost half of what he did pre-pandemic as there were limited flights.

Transport Minister S Iswaran said last week that the number of passengers passing through Changi Airport daily was 75 per cent of the average number of weekly passengers pre-pandemic. The mother of one daughter aged three had spent four years as a nurse with Changi General Hospital before becoming a flight attendant with SIA for seven years.

That was where he served patients who are typically heavily immobilised, such as seniors recovering from stroke. "I thought to myself that I may not have the technical expertise or desire to be a nurse, but I can help provide this service that is expected to be delivered to patients."

My salute to these cabin crews who made the switch. It’s never easy to let go of a cabin crew job esp. with SQ and yet they followed their hearts to make brighter days for our patients. Thank you. You’ll be blessed in return❤️

Smart move

It was a great way to fly
