I read in newspaper that DGCA was very perturbed about dance moves performed by
cabin crew of an airline on Holi while aircraft was in transit from one place
to another. It was termed as flying hazard and concerned airline was asked for
explanation as well as action against defaulters. As per news co-pilot had taken
video recording on his mobile. The concerned airline has suspended the captain
and co-pilot of the said flight.
In my personal
opinion the reaction of DGCA as well as the airline is absurd. The crew had to
be on duty on a festival as well as many of passengers might have travelled on
that day out of compulsion instead of enjoying the festival at home. So all
that crew did was to let off pent up feelings by dance moves as well as
entertain the passengers who missed the festival at home. How did it become a
flight safety hazard? Did they burst crackers or throw colours leading to
stampede like situation? Action against co-pilot may be taken for using mobile
but not for leaving cockpit. Don’t captain or co-pilot even leave cockpit to relieve
themselves during long flights and ensure safety of aircraft with needed crew
in the cockpit or do they use adult huggies during the period of flight?
I think we do have
to look at everything with a broad view and not with blinkers on.

I think the flight stewards did a good job of making their passengers feel better, relieved of whatever stress could be bothering them, albeit if just for awhile.
You are right... "I think we do have to look at everything with a broad view and not with blinkers on."
