Yasir Hussain wants you to learn to be polite to flight attendants

Yasir Hussain wants you to learn to be polite to flight attendants

There's a serious issue prevalent on our domestic flights and the actor took to Instagram to talk about it.
28 Oct, 2021

Actor Yasir Hussain would really like you to learn one thing today — how to behave politely with flight attendants who serve passengers.

The Karachi Se Lahore actor was travelling when he couldn't help but notice something problematic on his flight. "Today during my flight I noticed that the passengers, and especially male passengers, think that flight attendants who serve us food and pick up our dirty dishes are their servants," he wrote on Instagram.

"This is not the case at all. Learn to talk with politeness. For the love of God, please learn to respect different professions."

Hussain has a valid point. Our society isn't exactly respectful to individuals who work in Pakistan's service industry. This issue was also highlighted by Asad Monga, a chef who works at Test Kitchen by Okra, an upscale Karachi-based eatery. A video of his encounter with a rude desi Karen went viral on social media earlier in October, and for him this became "a great opportunity to shed light on what people in hospitality have to go through".

People in the service industry often bear the brunt of customers' entitlement and rudeness. "Since the pandemic, I feel like the burden of all civility or basic courtesy has fallen on hospitality professionals or other professionals who are in the service industry because people have become increasingly very, very difficult to deal with,” he said.

If it's bad for people in the service industry in general, we can't imagine how difficult it must be for flight attendants who often deal with rude and troublesome passengers. Lets take Hussain's message to heart. It's time we dropped the attitude and learned to be polite to flight attendants who are only there to facilitate us.

The flight attendants are the most decent trained class. They deserve respect & gratitudes.

Most of pakistani people are ill bred. Money has not bought them manners and respect for others.

Ufff he is in news again.. this guy needs publicity real bad .. can he share the video or evidence of incidence? I am not denying the occurrence of such incidences but my point is that i am sure no such incident happened at his flight and he just created a story and he needed a topic to remain in news. Like if u agree :D

AIRBLUE staff is the rudest of them all. There is no need to be polite to them.

I agree with Yasir Hussain. I have nothing but praise for airline staff. I was on a flight where some passengers sat in the wrong seats but refused to budge. However, credit to flight attendants they remained insistent and passengers moved to correct seats.

The behaviours at airports is also unacceptable. I recall a businessman pushed past me when in a queue. His suit and tie gave a different persona. He he was no different than a thug.

@Achakzai Disagree the best staff in Pakistan. Very polite and respectful. One bad experience should not be used to tarnish the airline.

Money doesn't bring civilisation, courtesy and manners. The majority is uneducated.
