SINGAPORE: Two cruise lines will be allowed to offer"cruises to nowhere" for Singapore residents from November, under a pilot scheme with enhanced safety protocols and mandatory COVID-19 testing for both crew and passengers.

“We are delighted to be the first cruise ship to restart operations here in Singapore and to give a much needed boost to the local tourism industry," said Dream Cruises president Michael Goh. "We are glad to work with Genting Cruise Lines on the cruise pilot with a focus on the necessary safe management measures to ensure the safety of passengers and crew," he said.To provide assurance for safe cruising, a mandatory CruiseSafe certification programme is being developed by STB.

"Singapore is one of the first countries in the world to develop and implement a mandatory audit and certification programme for cruise lines before they can commence sailings." Pilot cruises will have to comply with prevailing safe management measures, such as mask-wearing and 1m-safe distancing.

American Airlines delays Boeing 737 MAX pilot training, union saysAmerican Airlines has delayed plans to begin scheduling Boeing Co MAX training for its pilots in November, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots ... Sẽ không ai cầm đèn chạy trước ô tô cả. Báo hoãn là điều nhìn thấy. Và hôm sau là rỡ bỏ lệnh cấm bay rồi đào tạo phi công. Vì khi đó 737 max mới hoàn chỉnh bản sửa lỗi thì mới đào tạo đc chứ. Phải biết đề bài mới giải được bài toán. Đào tạo khi chưa hoàn chỉnh bản sửa lỗi thì phô quá. Khác nào biết trước đề bài. Rồi cũng ổn thôi. Khi có công bố rỡ bỏ và phe duyệt 737 max bay lại. Cũng nhanh thôi. Có lẽ sớm hơn dự tính.
