Three pilots of IndiGo airlines grounded for taking mid-air selfies

Three pilots of the IndiGo airlines were grounded for a week by the aviation safety regulator of the country. The pilots were reportedly taking selfies on their phones in mid-air in the airplane's cockpit. The trend of taking selfies is indeed increasing day by day in India but doing so while airborne is highly dangerous. Such an action by someone as responsible as the Captain of the plane is condemnable as it may endanger lives. A spokesperson of IndiGo airlines mentioned that the pilots have been de-rostered for seven days for the selfies taken nearly 1.5 years ago. "This is not the only such case. Facebook and other social media profiles are full of pilots beaming in their seats while flying aircraft," TOI quoted a source as saying.
