SpiceJet official to Q400 pilots: Follow work ethics, trivial issues taking priority over flight ops

A senior SpiceJet executive has asked pilots flying its Q400 aircraft to follow "some work ethics", telling them in an email that if they don't get salary for a month they will automatically give up the "trivial" issues that are taking priority over flight operations.

Pramod Malik, who is the fleet captain for Q400 aircraft, said, "Please learn to prioritise your work because if you don't get salary for a month then automatically those trivial priorities will vanish (leading to) 'No Money No Honey' situation."
Asked about the "trivial issues" mentioned in the communication, a SpiceJet spokesperson said, "The said letter is a standard periodic communication from the management to its employees to motivate and guide them to prioritise their core responsibilities in the organisation."
"SpiceJet strives to achieve a healthy work culture with emphasis on safeguarding work ethics, work-life balance and well-being of its employees."
Malik, in his email, has also said, "We are all mature people, then how come some of us are not able to prioritise and differentiate what is primary and what could be secondary."
