By rules, it&#8217;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.<br \/>\nGoing by these estimates, roughly the Indian cabin crew strength stands at 17,200. A 2010 McKinsey study on aviation stated that India&#8217;s aviation industry will create an additional 40,000 vacancies in cabin crew jobs over the next 3 to 4 years.<br \/>\nKPMG&#8217;s Amber Dubey (director, aviation) says, &#8220;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.&#8221; Air hostess training institutes tell the same story.

So far, the worst hasn&#8217;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.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">19\/11\/11 Nupur Amarnath<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/news-by-company\/corporate-trends\/inside-aircraft-stories-stress-factor-for-air-hostesses-cabin-crews\/articleshow\/10795872.cms \" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">\/<\/span>Economic Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to aviation industry estimates, there are 430 aircraft up and flying in the Indian skies.
