New Delhi: The suicide of Sushmita Chakroborty, wife of an unpaid Kingfisher Airlines (KF) employee, can be seen as a stark indicator of the financial burden under which the families of some 4,000-odd unpaid employees of the airlines have been suffocating for seven months.
This isn't just a suicide but an extreme expression of the daily horrors of managing to live without having running access to the currency that the environment recognizes and accepts as the cost of living. So everything that has a price is a stress and only free things are stress-free. And that leaves no scope for anything to fill the air.
On Friday KFA got a breather as the freeze on one of its bank accounts was lifted giving the strapped airline a credit line of Rs 60 crore. "Even that won't be enough money to pay all the staff their full dues," a pilot said.
