A recent post from a personal Weibo account, China's twitter-like social platform, revealedthat several fresh stewardesses of Kunming Airline were 'stuffed' into an airplane's luggagecompartment by the security officers after they finish their flight.

The post said the airline attendants were forced to be carried into the luggage rack by thesecurity officer of the airplane. The practice, which was called a tradition by the officers,has been repeatedly conducted for four or five years. These stewardesses were reluctantto do it but still lifted to the rack due to the concerns of being not cooperative with theircolleagues.

Some photos were also posted with the story showing that the stewardesses curling up inthe luggage rack with hands covering their faces. A male staff member, who was believedas one of the security officers, was also seen in a photo and even posed with a huddledstewardess.

The post then went viral online and aroused heated dispute among Chinese web users.Some netizens doubted how these security officers were capable of guaranteeing the safetyof the passengers onboard as they have dangerous behavior like this.

According to a report from The Beijing News, Kunming Airline has investigated theincident and claimed that it was an individual case.
The Airline also said that these inappropriate traditions happened after the crew membersfinished their flight missions.

The report quotes sources from the company as saying "this was like a ceremony for thenew attendants to join the crew team. It is prevalent among other foreign airlinecompanies. But the company paid high attention to the incident and pledged to prevent thisfrom happening again due to its negative effect to the image of the company. "
