An in-flight video of a cabin crew member getting into an argument with a passenger has taken the internet by storm. The video is reported to be from an IndiGo plane operating a Tukey-India flight under a codeshare agreement with Turkish airline. The video is shared on Twitter and has garnered a lot of eyeballs, with social media users giving unilateral support to the cabin crew member for getting back at the passenger.
As seen in the video, an IndiGo member, initially sitting in the aisle to serve food to passengers is getting into a heated debate with a passenger sitting in the aisle seat. The cabin crew can be heard saying, “I am not your servant”. As per the initial reports, the altercation occurred over the pre-booked in-flight meal.

As I had said earlier, crew are human too. It must have taken a lot to get her to breaking point. Over the years I have seen crew slapped and abused on board flights, called “servant” and worse. Hope she is fine despite the pressure she must be under.
