Man commends SIA pilot for getting them to safety after bird strike forces plane to return http://goo.gl/UE3tiw

Hey Singapore Airlines,
Great job dealing with the bird strike on flight SQ 319 from Istanbul to Singapore today, my commendations to the pilot for getting us back safely with all the damage. While that part was fine, the being dragged around the terminal for the next six hours being told conflicting information and waiting in queue after queue with no rest was substandard. No complaints about the ground staff they did an excellent job dealing with the fallout but lacked a centralized response to the situation ie we were told we would be on busses in 15 mins when it took closer to five hours. Please learn from this and improve your crisis management here in future.

Struan Cummins Thank you, the main suggestion I have is once we started the process of leaving the terminal we had no access to water for nearly six hours and for some to have been provided during the process would have made a world of difference
