Insiders say about 350 cabin crew left their job in the past year. The present total of the crew is 1,500. Though 150 recruits in this period are being trained, the shortage is estimated at 200 air hostesses. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our cabin crew members are fatigued and overstressed,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said an airline executive, who blamed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bad human resource policies\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for so many cabin crew having quit.<br \/>\nKingfisher\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rival, Jet Airways, lost a little over 100 cabin crew members in the past year.<br \/>\nHowever, a Kingfisher spokesperson denied a problem, while not commenting on the reported turnover figure. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is no shortage on cabin crew, as during the downturn we redeployed excess cabin crew in our airport ground services for a short while, thereby increasing our service delivery on ground. Currently, post crew turnover, which is in line with industry standards, the excess number has only balanced off,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said an e-mail response.<br \/>\nThe executive quoted earlier: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The senior ones have left our airline and we are trying to replace them by trainees, which will badly increase the strength of our untrained cabin crew. These untrained staff will not be able to act the way they are supposed to during emergencies.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>\nTo which, the spokesperson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s response is that around 150 of the new recruits were under training and a lot of experienced crew from other airlines, both domestic and international, had joined since Kingfisher was the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcemployer of choice\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 for cabin crew.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">25\/12\/10 Mihir Mishra<\/span>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/india\/news\/hr-issues-surface-at-kingfisher\/419542\/\">Business Standard<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Attrition in cabin crew has been substantial at Vijay Mallya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Kingfisher Airlines over the past year, say insiders,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1341\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
