She could be heard requesting him to speak politely with the crew. As he continued to yell, and screamed at the air hostess, saying “Shut up”, she asked him to mind his tone and refrain from speaking to crew in such manner.

“Why are you yelling?” the passenger questioned to which the crew member replied saying “Because, you are telling at us”.

” No, I’m sorry sir, you cannot talk to a crew like that. I’m peacefully listening to you with all due respect, but you have to respect the crew as well. You cannot talk to me like that, I’m also an employee here” She further said while another crew member tried to pacify her.

The passenger’s statement about air hostess being a servant of passengers added fuel to the fire as the air hostess shouted “I’m an employee, I’m not your servant”

“The crew also deserve respect. They are taught to maintain their cool and calm, serve people with a smile, even in the most challenging situations. But, that doesn’t mean people can be rude and insult them. Back your crew, @IndiGo6E. Don’t abandon her” a twitter user said reacting to the video whereas another one said “Flyers MUST respect the crew . It’s a thankless job . I do hope the lady here is not reprimanded in any way by @IndiGo6E . It looks like she was forced into loosing her cool by a boorish flyer ..”

Respect to this air hostess for standing up for the cause & upholding her and other cabin crew’s dignity but putting the unruly, high demanding, cheap-ticket passenger, back to his place. She has rightfully said, ‘we are employees, not your servant!’ @IndiGo6E

Why politely? I think she was polite enough. This man was obnoxious and rude and frankly someone serving you isn’t an unequal.

Indigo and crew members are one of the worst ( no offence). I always had bad expierenced with them , they simply say NO for everything . They can show a bit of empathy and sympathy towards passenger . Ppl will now talk about humanity between no one know what actually happened.
