This is selfie era – right from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. If so, how can one stop Subhajit Chatterjee – or affectionately called ‘Dada’ – selfying at Darcl’s workshop in Jamshedpur?

Transport Mitra Selvan Dasaraj uncorks the hidden mirth and sense of humour among pilots leading to peals of laughter, the best stress buster among the most stressed out constituency. In the bargain, “Sel” himself gets mesmerized for a fleeting second!

Darcl Business Head Nishant Tanay @ Jamshedpur gifts the senior most pilot and then engages him to share his three tips on defensive driving on highways to his colleagues. Peer learning is always the best route because this type of imparting knowledge comes from experience, not text books .

The Darcl senior executives at Jamshedp

The bonhomie between Darcl pilots and senior executives at this Pilot Connect gets infectious. Pilots open up to share their genuine concerns and seek solutions. Communication is the first step towards resolving all concerns.

Post pillow collection, they queue up for tea and snacks. Certainly a disciplined lot!

An wonderful interactive evening session with Darcl pilots comes to an end with singing of National Anthem collectively and “Jai Ho” chorus. A First of its kind for them.

They earn handsomely, by hook or crook. What they miss out is the basic human touch.

These kind of Pilot Connect initiatives will revive bonding, when done regularly.
