Safety Vs Profits
1/12 🧵
DGCA dropped a simple, life-saving rule:
Flight departs before 0600? ➡️ Max 2 sectors only. Because 3 AM wake-ups are still NIGHT for the human body 😴🌙

IndiGo is losing its mind trying to kill this rule. Why? 👀 Buckle up ✈️ 2/12
To report for a 0600 departure:
⏰ 0300 alarm
🕧 1 hr at home + 1 hr cab + 1 hr pre-flight
That’s biological midnight 🦉💤

Old rule: night ended 0500 😇
New rule (science-based): night ends 0600 🛡️
IndiGo wants the old one back. Obviously.

🚀

1/10 IndiGo CEO says stopping pilot poaching is in “national interest”. Let’s actually look at the numbers and see who’s REALLY benefiting from keeping pilots chained. 🧵👇 2/10 Q2 employee cost for IndiGo: ₹2,044 Crore GST paid to Govt on those salaries & services: ₹1,104 Crore That’s 54% of every rupee spent on pilots flowing straight into govt treasury. 💰
