Right now the airline industry is in a pilot shortage. Competition for hiring is a reaching new levels of thinking outside the box. You may not think an article about pilot furloughs is a relevant conversation. However things can change at the drop of a hat and it does not take many events for history to repeat itself. (For example, war, pandemics, equipment shortages, labor disputes, price of fuel etc) Be assured this, history WILL repeat itself, the aviation industry is cyclical.

Checking the aircraft type on this route, most of the flights were operated by 737 MAX 8 and I knew I had to fly on Singapore Airlines' aircraft to compare the difference between the 737-800 and this aircraft model.
