How Holi was it for SpiceJet?

When Finnair did something similar 2 years back for Republic Day, they not just enthralled the passengers but cruised straight into the Indian hearts. The otherwise not so creative team at FlySpiceJet copied the concept this Holi. Appreciate the enthusiasm but not the bit of the Pilot leaving cockpit and recording and cheering.
Umm not an exclusive thought from Yours Truly. Seems the DGCA has rubbed SpiceJet with wrong colors for this mid air stunt!
Watch the mid air dance and a "Photo Sensitive" SpiceJet Pilot.


The video from Finnair-

DGCA has valid points for pulling on SpiceJet and crew. The Finnair dance happened after boarding and when the aircraft was on ground. The pilot was outside the cockpit for over 2 mins and 30 seconds. When we look back into the AF447 incident, it is understood that every seconds in the cockpit counts during emergency. My summary is that the pilot behaved irresponsibly and as for the dancing cabin attendants, well they could have done it on ground to avoid a litigation later.
A well planned sequence gone bust compromising flight safety.
