Pilot says TimeOut!!

I was greeted by the WTF news of the day....
Seventy passengers of a Mumbai-bound Spicejet flight were left stranded in Visakhapatnam on Saturday night.... A harried passenger Sumit said, “A bizarre reason was given for the pilot's duty hours which were prescribed by the DGCA.
What is really bizarre is that the airline scheduled a flight to be flown by a pilot who was beyond his duty hours and then  did not even acknowledge the mistake fully.
On the lighter side i just thank god that this pilot's duty hours did not expire when they where mid flight....Imagine this announcement...
'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your caption and pilot speaking...Since my duty hours have just got expired, I will be parachuting out now. However, Worry not....You will land somewhere and I am sure you will be more than happy to have traveled a longer distance than you planned for, that too at the same price...'
Funny way things work in India....dont they?
