A month ago, I posted about my favourite budget airline Indigo's new look. I wrote about the short bobs all the flight attendants were sporting: When it works, it looks great in a chic French way. When things go wrong, the hair seems wig-like..."
It now seems the hair looked like a wig because it WAS a wig. A number of flight attendants didn't want to cut thier tresses, and were given the wig option. Now, in a further relaxation of rules, Indigo is allowing long hair to be pinned up neatly. I knew that would happen sooner or later. My final comment in that previous post was: "I wonder how long it will be before a very Indian combination of laziness, love of long hair and hatred of regimentation leads flight attendants to protest the airline's extended uniform." Not long at all it turns out; the uniformity lasted all of one month.

You are a very prescient sort of guy, Girish.
The sweetest phrase in the language: I told you so.
Yet one we must constantly bite our lips from saying.
Except against corporations, so go ahead.
Having taken two Indigo flights in the past week, I'm having a late A-ha! moment. Thank you Girish. You are prescient and all that.

'The sweetest phrase in the language: I told you so'
