They alleged they have been subjected to strip search for the last few days after deboarding from flights, adding the security personnel also told them to remove their sanitary pads from their handbags.
The cabin crew reported for work only after the SpiceJet management assured them a high-level meeting at the airline's Gurgaon office on Monday to discuss the matter. People familiar with the matter said two midnight flights -- one of them an international flight to Colombo -- left late by an hour from Chennai airport due to the cabin crew protest.
A video purportedly shot at Chennai airport has surfaced, showing a group of air hostesses in uniform and plainclothes complaining about being strip searched. A woman is heard saying, "Someone touched me inappropriately, made me feel very uncomfortable. I was naked."
The protesting cabin crew alleged that the private airline suspects them of swindling cash collected on board for food and other sales. They alleged they are not allowed to go to the washroom immediately on deboarding from flights.
