Many see their hard work and money gone to waste. Others are bracing themselves for the coming, at least, 3-4 years.<br \/>Aditi Sharma passed out from AHA (Air Hostess Academy) but works at Caf\u00c3\u00a9 Coffee Day (CCD). Asked if it was the aviation meltdown that took her to CCD, she says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not exactly. But this looked like a good option.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>Rohit Sharma, another CCD employee, too wanted to become a steward. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But with the aviation sector coming down in such a big way I took up a job with CCD.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He adds in remorse, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153At CCD the lowest level employee gets Rs6,000 and the manager Rs9,000. He is now pursuing MBA through correspondence.<br \/>Vandita Malhotra, a cabin crew employee with Spice Jet, earns Rs10,000. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am with the ground staff. I used to get Rs12,000. But it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s now come down to Rs10,000.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d So also with Shreya Sharma, a Jet Airways air hostess. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Before the aviation crisis I used to get Rs30,000-35,000 per domestic flight. I now get between Rs15,000-20,000. It has completely changed my lifestyle.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153After paying so much money on training, I hardly earn enough to make ends meet,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Rohit.<br \/>Training with agencies like AHA and Frankfinn does not come cheap. Samir Walia, vice-president Marketing and Infrastructure Corporation, says Frankfinn charges Rs1,25,000 per student.<br \/>A senior executive with AHA said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our students opt for hospitality or aviation. Earlier, the ratio was 50:50. But since the aviation crisis, our placements in aviation have dropped 60%. As a result, now 80% students opt for hospitality.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">21\/11\/08 Eklavya Atray\/Daily News &amp; Analysis<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: With the aviation and global financial crisis hitting at the same time, students pursuing MBA and aviation courses<\/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-843","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\/843","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=843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
