36 Kingfisher air hostesses join Air India

New Delhi: He may be old and completely broke, but still has a heart of gold. Air India's Maharaja is now playing Santa to Kingfisher's unpaid crew. On Christmas eve, 36 airhostesses from Mallya's beleaguered airline joined AI.
While timely payment of salaries has become a dream at both AI and Kingfisher, the crisis in Mallya's airline has suddenly made employees long for the safety of a sarkari job - even if it too happens to be a mostly unpaid one. Before airhostesses, Kingfisher had witnessed an exodus of pilots with nearly 140 leaving in past two to three months.
"We are facing a severe crew shortage because of which our flights keep getting delayed. There are times when pilots are in cockpit but the plane can't operate due to crew shortage.
