This Man Shared Air-Hostess Pic Making Fun Of Her English. This Is How Twitter Reacted
Usually, people take to social media to share their experience about food, assistance, quality of services among other things. We all have to be little sensible while posting things online. All should be careful that someone’s privacy and prestige is not at stake. Things backfire, that too in a brutal manner if one crosses the line.
A passenger recently travelled by domestic carrier, Indigo Airlines and shared a picture of an air-hostess taking a dig at her. The passenger tried to be humorous about an air-hostess’ ‘poor English’, found himself at receiving end of social media outrage.
The man Tweeted her picture: “‘Are you comfortable with the English?,’ @IndiGo6E girl asked. ‘Not at all, are they coming back?’ I replied (was near Exits).”
While Sengupta shared his ‘joke’ online, the airlines took a stand for its staff. It acknowledged the “humour” but and hoped that he had asked permission from the lady before posting her picture online.
Hi Shubho, we’re really impressed with your humour and are glad our crew member helped you laugh a little. We just hope you >>

After hearing the warning, the passenger expressed his admiration for the airlines.

Many users even asked him to take down the photo of the flight attendant and slammed him for poking fun. Here are some of the twitter reactions.
it is a funny line but putting her pic seems unfair and feels like shaming her. She was not rude or anything @madversity

@varungrover Disappointed that you, of all people, would choose to retweet this! Why would you shame someone for not knowing Eng?

not to mention – using her English grammar as the butt of your joke is terribly crass

Classy, very classy. Ridicule, take pictures, post without permission. @varungrover RTs it. You’ve arrived. @IndiGo6E #Abhadralog

the joke would still be funny without her picture. It would be really humane if you posted that again without her pic.

this is demeaning and nasty. Wasn’t required at all. Can’t justify everything in the name of humour.@IndiGo6E

Many users blasted the man for mocking someone for poor English. Some even alleged the traveller for breaching a woman’s privacy.
Directorate General of Civil Aviation’s (DGCA) rules on the prohibition of in-flight photography, little is known about whether passengers are prevented from snapping cabin crew. DGCA rules strictly state that flight crew cannot take selfies and neither can passengers when they board and de-board the aircraft.
