Conversely, some commenters condemned the act, labeling it as “unprofessional.”
“What is wrong with making their employees dance like this???” questioned one user. “As a cabin crew member, I find this unacceptable. It’s not professional at all,” responded another.
“This is not professional. Airlines should uphold some standards instead of chasing clout and compromising the crew’s dignity,” voiced a third user.
“I really wonder who comes up with such ideas and, more importantly, who endorses them. There’s nothing thrilling or innovative about this. Where is the respect and decorum? The poor crew is subjected to this absurdity just because someone in management thought it would be a good idea,” remarked one user. “This is why cabin crew in India aren’t taken seriously. Focus should be on safety, security, and customer service,” a different user added.
