Man shares photo of air-hostess making fun of her English, airline gives fitting reply

What surprises is that he could tweet to the airlines that he is their "fan" but could issue an apology humiliating a woman online.

This passenger recently travelled by domestic carrier, Indigo Airlines and shared a picture of an air-hostess taking a dig at her.

How do we rate a flying experience with any airlines? Usually, people take to social media to share their experience about food, assistance, quality of services among other things. Some may be filled with criticism too, with a dash of sarcasm, but to take a dig at a flight attended for verbal skills? Well, yes someone did that got a fitting reply from the carrier.

A passenger recently travelled by domestic carrier, Indigo Airlines and shared a picture of an air-hostess taking a dig at her. The man, Shubho Sengupta wrote, “‘Are you comfortable with the English?,’ @IndiGo6E girl asked. ‘Not at all, are they coming back?’ I replied (was near Exits).”

While Sengupta shared his ‘joke’ online, the airlines took a stand for its staff. It acknowledged the “humour” but and hoped that he had asked permission from the lady before posting her picture online. The airlines further sternly added, “And oh, photography of our staff & inside an airplane are really not allowed.”

@shubhos Hi Shubho, we’re really impressed with your humour and are glad our crew member helped you laugh a little. We just hope you >>

@shubhos took her permissions to post this online. And oh, photography of our staff & inside an airplane are really not allowed.<<

Oddly, after hearing the warning, the passenger expressed his admiration for the airlines. However, that did not deter Twitterati from savagely criticising him.

@IndiGo6E am a big Indigo fan everyone knows

Many users even asked him to take down the photo of the flight attendant and slammed him for poking fun at a “self-made woman”.

@shubhos @IndiGo6E it is a funny line but putting her pic seems unfair and feels like shaming her. She was not rude or anything @madversity

@shubhos @varungrover Disappointed that you, of all people, would choose to retweet this! Why would you shame someone for not knowing Eng?

@shubhos @IndiGo6E not to mention – using her English grammar as the butt of your joke is terribly crass

@shubhos Classy, very classy. Ridicule, take pictures, post without permission. @varungrover RTs it. You’ve arrived. @IndiGo6E #Abhadralog

@shubhos @IndiGo6E the joke would still be funny without her picture. It would be really humane if you posted that again without her pic.

@shubhos this is demeaning and nasty. Wasn’t required at all. Can’t justify everything in the name of humour.@IndiGo6E
