you have gray hair Then you can’t work for Air India “By the time the production finally comes out, people will already be dead”

No gray hair, no shorts when staying in a hotel: new guidelines for “Air India” cabin crew have sparked discussions on the internet in India. While some thought the rules were excessive, others agreed.

Under the new rules, male cabin crew must use hair gel and shave any remaining hair daily if they have large bald spots, according to the airline’s new rules manual, which local television station NDTV uploaded in an article. Female cabin crew must therefore wear earrings and paint nails that match the uniform. Gray hair all need to be dyed regularly. When staying overnight in hotels, employees are not allowed to wear ripped jeans, shorts or miniskirts.

As a reason for the changed regulations, the local news agency ANI wrote, citing cabin crew, that the previous image no longer met international standards. The new management wants to change the perception. The Indian company Tata Sons bought the state airline a few months ago. (saw/sda/dpa)
