Air India asks cabin crew to carry uniform when on holiday, report to duty if needed

In what is every employee's nightmare, Air India has issued an advisory that asks its cabin crew members to carry their uniform when they set out on a vacation. In the advisory issued on September 1, the airline said that cabin crew members must also pack their full set of documents including passport, ID card, competency card and medical card along with their full uniform, in case they are needed to report to duty.
The airline feels that if employees can fly for free, then they should also be ready to abandon their families and resume work if a flight falls short of a cabin crew member at the destination they are holidaying. Air India employees are entitled to 16 to 24 free tickets, depending on the individual's duration of service, to domestic and international destinations. Seats are subject to availability and the employee flies as 'Staff On Leave' (SOL).
There is still a way around for Air India employees to escape this. All they'll have to do to ensure that their vacation is not ruined is buy their flight tickets and not rely on company perks.
