Acute Shortage of Cabin Crew delays Air India Flights.
Many air travelers are complaining that the Air India flights are delayed comparing to the private company flights. The main reason seems to be the shortage of cabin crews. There is acute shortage of cabin crews. While 700 cabin crew have been retired within the last two years, nobody has been recruited. It is reported that company is thinking of fresh recruitment.
It is not different in BSNL. During the last 14 years, about 1,40,000 employees, mostly in the non-executive cadres, who are mainly dealing with fault repair, Customer Service Centre etc. have retired. But there has been no fresh recruitment in these cadres.
BSNL Management should urgently think about fresh recruitment, failing which the service will further deteriorate.
