    I was a ground staff for Cathay Pacific. We were taught to handle passengers with utmost care and more importantly, go the extra mile for them. The time they travel with us bears great significance to them. It may be the time that they move to a new country and start a new life, or it may be the time they carry the ashes of their loved ones. Ground service is just as important as those on air. So sorry for your mother and I can feel how heartbroken and frustrated you must be. Hopefully they see this and improve!

    • @princess-alexia
      @princess-alexia 2 года назад +21

      While I understand you may take pride in your work, Cathay Pacific delivered a horrendous experience when my mother took a 16-hour flight to Hong Kong, very weak with a medical condition. Literally, the medical condition was so visibly obvious that anyone who looked at her for 1 second could see that she was not well and needed special care, nevertheless, I have communicated this to Cathay and submitted a medical certificate.
      The entire flight, Cathay Pacific flight attendants never even attempted to look after my mom. One example that really infuriated me was: airplane humidity level is notoriously low, which actually exacerbated my mom's condition and significantly increased her discomfort. The discomfort got so bad, that when she saw a flight attendant who was all smiles to a passenger situated a row before her, when the flight attendant was done, my mom asked her whether she could have a hot towel to ease her condition a bit. (Hot towels can be seen served out to the business class.)
      The attendant was visibly annoyed with my mom's request. She looked at my mom and just told my mom that hot towels were not served in economy. My mom was taken aback and explained that she was feeling very poorly and would very much appreciate a hot towel to alleviate the discomfort. The flight attendant repeated that, sorry, we do not serve hot towels to economy passengers. And walked off!
      My mom was not asking for something extravagant. Just a hot towel. And she was visibly unwell.
      When I was watching this video, and watched Tiezheng recount his mom's experience. I teared up and recalled my mom's experience - that flight with Cathay Pacific was the only time that she was feeling so poorly - and it made me so angry to this day.
      To Cathay Pacific, please also extend some basic compassion to clients in your economy class.

      My family used to fly with Cathay Pacific a lot about 30-35 years ago, when I was small. Some of my earliest memories are being fussed over by the flight attendants, who treated me with such patience and kindness. Their behaviour was above and beyond any expectations I would have as an adult. They would pin plane badges on me as if they were real prizes, sneak me extra snacks and let me wear their hats. If my mum fell asleep after wrangling two kids between countries by herself, they would take me to the cockpit, introduce me to the pilot and play with me until my mum woke up. Those attendants gave me some of my best childhood memories and I am still grateful 35 years later.

    Firstly, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother.
    I am shocked that any airline would treat her in such a way.
    But I am very happy to see a video from you again, I have missed your content on RUclips

    Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. 🌷I recall one of your great motivations for creating these videos was by way of entertaining your parents and sharing your experiences with them, and it pains me to know part of the joy in being a RUclips creator has likely been diminished. You spoke eloquently on your experiences in this video, while advocating for others - a great testament to how you were raised (and itself a compliment to your parents). Also, you did a beautiful job memorializing your mom and your home country, and I believe you performed a great public service. All the best for 2022.

    It was criminal what your mother had to go through during the period of that flight and the pain and helplessness you all had to experience throughout.
    I know it means little coming from a person through the internet but I really hope that you can find your way to live with the loss and overcome the grief, it's hard but I want you to know that you aren't alone and it's okay.

    My condolences to you and your family on your mom’s passing. Your experience with SV is inexcusable. As someone who’s worked in the airline industry for 20 plus years, it’s frustrating and maddening to hear what your family experienced. There is a level of care and concern which should be present when dealing with such situations, especially traveling such a long distance. I’m sorry you had to endure this. I really enjoy your videos. Nice to see you back!

    I felt the unhappiness that you showed at the latter part of your video and also huge sadness and frustration, plus of course my condolences for the loss of your mother. I know here in Britain we fall short of various matters at different times but… I do feel that the likes of British Airways or Virgin would not necessarily treat a person in the some way at a very difficult time of their lives and of course their families too.
    You have no need to apologise to us young man for some minor points as not getting stuff edited and posted, in the major play of things that is frankly unimportant and possibly irrelevant. Happiness is a great thing and we have all smiled and laughed at so many of your videos, this one was very personal and special to you personally.

I'm in Toronto, happily situated, so in no hurry to travel given the present challenges but I do very much enjoy the opportunity to share the experience through your eyes and words. Your personal experiences shared at the end of this video were eloquent, profound and equally appreciated. I too hope that this video reaches those in a position to improve the experience for those truly needing special care. It's one thing to deliver fluff, taste, texture and colour as part of their passengers' travels, but to see them fall so flat when it really matters must be really, really disappointing for someone whose experienced the other extremes. Good on you for holding it together so well. Wish you all the best and will be watching for videos on your next, hopefully happier experiences (perhaps travels with your Dad?)

The fact that even with the loss of your mother and how she was treated whilst trying to get home the fact you can still be kind and not rage as I would speaks volumes as to how you were raised.
