Excellent use of data to make a point: "Would hiring more pilots erode the bottom line of IndiGo, the only consistently profitable Indian carrier? With plans to onboard 900 new pilots by next year, a back-of-the-envelope calculation projects an additional annual cost of roughly ₹5,500 million, which constitutes merely 6–8% of IndiGo’s Profit After Tax, which stood at ₹81.6 billion in 2023-24 and ₹72.5 billion in 2024-25. Or, less than 8% of its surplus to insulate itself from this fiasco".
