I assume everybody has seen the video. The main reaction seems to be that Indians treat air hostesses badly. Indeed, the Hindi word for air hostess ("Hawai Sundari") is itself very problematic and patriarchal. However, isn't this also a wider problem? Look at how law firm owners treat employees: essentially likes slaves. Also see how Judges bully young lawyers who are not nepo kids. So, are we then asking making a mistake by simply looking at airlines?
Indian travellers are utter garbage. A lot of poors who are new flyers believe that just because they've paid a few thousand rupees and a pretty woman is compelled by her job to be pleasant and courteous to them, they can do anything with impunity. See the various incidents that have happened recently, such as this airhostess screaming, passenger misbehaving with IndiGo ground crew, the fracas on that Thailand flight and most recently the drunk guy urinating on a woman on an Air India flight.
I propose that airfares should be raised sharply to prevent the poors from destroying air travel.
Do you have any data/research/thesis that proves it? On the contrary, if arguing out of the blue is acceptable, the Indian middle class happens to be more sensible when it comes to behaving properly at places when compared to the rich. The bourgeoisie lacks human touch and doesn't value economically and socially backward humans as humans at all (Like shown in the movie Parasite), middle class on the other hand at least shows empathy towards other human beings. This indicates that the middle class respects the flight travel (owing to their valuing of their hard earned money) much more than elitist MFs. A non-frequent flyer might not be much aware with the norms, but when it comes to behaving like shit, more often than not, its the rich ppl
Entitlement has nothing to do with money or aukaat. Upper caste men/ people are as badly behaved as white men/ people. Obviously not all of them, but too many. Look at how the staff behaved, trying to cater to him and protect him instead of helping her. And then his dad goes on TV to blame her. No one this dude is entitled enough to think he can pee on someone and get away. Here it is peeing. Somewhere else it is actually assault. These fellows so rarely get held accountable for their behaviour.
But as per Mr. Fantastik, only poor behave badly in this country! This is such a huge burn that he might as well have introduced himself to the Human Torch intimately!
