End of good times! By: Kashif Khusro June 10, 2006
The cold weather at north Indian airports is one of the reasons the short skirts of the ground staff of Kingfisher Airlines were discarded Pic: Nimesh Dave
Soon, Vijay Mallya’s beauties will no longer wear miniskirts at the airport, thanks to passengers who made lewd remarks about them.
The ground staff of Kingfisher Airlines will discard their skirts for more conservative pants.
But the good news is that cabin crew’s skirts will remain as they are — short.
Another reason for the change, say insiders, is the cold weather at north Indian airports.
Staff in north Indian airports, including Delhi and Srinagar, have already ditched the skirts. Mumbai and the rest of the country are expected to follow soon.
“The extreme climate in northern India and some vulgar remarks by passengers made us change the staff’s uniform,” said a Kingfisher Airlines airport manager in Delhi.
According to sources, after some women staff switched to pants at the Delhi airport, all the women were ordered to wear pants to ensure uniformity.
“It gets extremely cold in Delhi, and though we were specifically told when we were recruited that we would have to wear short skirts, we were not comfortable. We had a horrid time last winter. So, we opted for pants,” said an employee.
Was in Bangalore last week waiting for flight when the cabin crew of Kingfisher came in.
The bus type passengers of Air Deccan, saw them and from then on it was a stream of comments. What the reporter of Mid-Day says is right.
They face worse comments from the public outside the terminal. There it's worse a you have the autowallahs and taxi drivers. To say street language is mild.
Just read somewhere that SpiceJet Cabin crew are to undergo training to handle their passengers. As 46 % SJ passengers are first-time crew will help them in basic things like how to eat and especially how to use the ________. No jokes.
typical indian mentality.... sick perverted comments. what i like about foreigners is taht they will no doubt give women a good eyeballing.... but even if they have to comment on the sexy part.... its always civilised...
but frankly.... Kingfishers crew are the best in India by far... even ground staff are not too bad at all... see them often enough to know

Absolutely fantastic and really very well said. Well flirting is an art and good sense of humour is critical to flirting. And white ppl are good at it while most of indians juststand and lust for the chick while no one would would actually have the balls to go and talk to her.

I have seen some of these guys in action at DEL. These guys have a really sick mind. There was a bugger sitting on the floor smoking a 'beedi' and staring at the legs of all these IT ground staff.
yes... but 2 differences... 9Ws girls are not as pretty as ITs... for the most part ;)
and... 9Ws skirts are very strictly "Proper" Airline skirts... that is just below the knee level... white IT has a more "sexier" one... often a little above the knees..as can be seen in the pic....
dunno about the shilpa shetty thing... dun care who did either..
and no... there are absolutely NO MALE crews on IT... as far as i know... dunno if they did take any as of last 2 months... dun think they will either.... why would you if you were a chap like Mallya with an eye for lovely girls... and when in todays liberated India you have a full line of PYTs lining up outside ur office everyday in their sexy best just to get into the crew/ground staff position?
DABTH the bitter truth is that no matter how much we say we are a conservative and traditional society we are very much hypocrites. Its a global feature that S** sells... and india is not alienated from this global thing...
Why actually such kind of a thing exsists is simply because its a social economic problem. Unlike the developed countries where there is not much high disparity of income thanks to higher labour costs this thing doesnt exsist.
while in India and other developing nation u will very much find this. For a globetrotting indian metrosexual male who works in some tech company and attend rave parties every weekend or goes out clubbing a chick in a skirt is not a big deal..
While the same chick for a village rustic would come under provocative clothing clause. Unfortunately u cant socially bann lower sections of society from visiting such public places which includes the airports.. Its just that u have to take adequate precaution its like everyman is on its own...
Mallya is just trying to promote his airline. I dont think attractive cabin crew plays a big role in decsion making process as to which airline a pax should fly otherwise hooters air would have been a massive success and i bet mallya would have brought cabin crew,s in 2 piece bikini too
Offcourse if DGCA would have allowed that or not thats a different deal
Its a pity that the hotties will move out from the sky, why not follow 9Ws path and make them where sexy red stockings, ----naah i just imagined it they will look like high society call girls, they are better of wearing pants.
