‘Not your Servant’: heated dispute in air between passenger and flight hostess
An dispute between an IndiGo passenger and an air hostess on an aircraft from Istanbul to Delhi broke out in mid-flight.
A mid-air argument broke out between an IndiGo passenger and an air-hostess onboard a flight that was en route from Istanbul to Delhi. The incident took place on December 16 and the video of the heated exchange onboard has now gone viral on social media. The video was shot by another passenger present on the flight in which a quarrel broke out between the duo over the food choices.
In the video, a passenger seated on the aisle seat can be seen arguing with the flight attendant as both are yelling each at other. “My crew is crying because of you,” the air hostess tells the passengers as she can be explaining his food choice. At one point the passenger shouts at the Air hostess “Why are you yelling? Shut up” and in response, the latter says, “You Shut up, I am sorry you can not talk to me like that”. The agitated passenger then tells the hostess, “You are a servant of all passengers” to which the cabin crew can be heard saying, “I am not your servant” and then walks away.
Shut up, You can’t talk to me like that
Yes, I’m an Employee and not your servant
