Jobs are Still There

According to aviation industry estimates, there are 430 aircraft up and flying in the Indian skies. By rules, it’s mandated that there should be a team of 110-150 employees per aircraft (in a rotation of 10 teams) from pilots, cabin crew to engineers.
Going by these estimates, roughly the Indian cabin crew strength stands at 17,200. A 2010 McKinsey study on aviation stated that India’s aviation industry will create an additional 40,000 vacancies in cabin crew jobs over the next 3 to 4 years.
KPMG’s Amber Dubey (director, aviation) says, “We do not anticipate a shortage in cabin crew capacity, given the large population of English speaking youth in India and the aspirational value of the airline sector.” Air hostess training institutes tell the same story. Some of the institutes, including the interestingly named Flying Cats, set up when aviation took off post-reforms have shut down. But those are like Frankfinn are still in business and new trainers have entered the market.
Industry watchers say that it is noteworthy that despite all the troubles in airlines, cabin crews haven’t lost jobs in numbers. So far, the worst hasn’t happened. Some cabin crew will tell you stories of irregular salary payments but almost no one ET on Sunday spoke to reported a crisis situation in their jobs. But there were plenty of tales of on-job stress. The little-appreciated fact of this job is that, according to air hostesses at least, the glamour wears off quickly, and it does so especially in low-cost carriers.
