Mumbai: Budget airline SpiceJet recently checked on five crew members who had called in sick in Delhi and Chennai and found they were not at home and their phones were switched off.
The “get-well-soon” visits were conducted by the airline’s human resource and medical departments.
“We will be taking the strictest action against sick-leave abuse. If you need leave, you follow the process and take leave,” SpiceJet Chief Operating Officer Sanjiv Kapoor wrote in an email to the airline’s cabin crew last Saturday. “This will be grounds for immediate termination. In our turnaround situation, we just cannot accept such indiscipline. The misdeeds of a few end up disrupting the operation and hurting the hard work of many.”
Kapoor added the airline was in the process of streamlining leave application and approval and told crew members to complain to him if leave was denied unfairly.
