Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

There has been much froth and foam across rooms and boardrooms regarding the ethics, legality, and appropriateness of the practice of working for one organization while also taking up extra responsibilities and jobs with another. As a trend, it is becoming commonplace in the IT and ITeS space. This is welcome. It makes sense to encourage more flexibility to employees if these firms want to move up the value chain. So, employers should accept the reality and use it to their advantage.

But genuine concerns against 'side-hustles' must be addressed. During the pandemic, the IT sector swiftly adapted to work from home (WFH), and professionals furthered their professional practice. Many preferred continuing WFH. But that raised the suspicion of many employers about workers taking up a second job to earn more. Meanwhile, a sharp rise in demand for IT professionals with new skills, and their shortage, widened the demand supply gap. Those who could not cope with the expectations - at the entry or middle levels - were fired. But the gig economy provides choices and added competition to both employer and employee. Trust is a core issue. Conflicts of interest and intellectual property rights violations are non-negotiable. Other aspects - fatigue impacting productivity, short-term vs long-term engagements in two jobs, skill acquisition, difficulty in monitoring beyond delivery of a defined output, the challenge to objectively measure output for a given compensation, peer-pressure, industry trends in employment contracts - also influence the attitude towards moonlighting.

But IT professionals can't be treated as captives. The industry must set the bar for high performance and productivity, yet in trusted working conditions that rewards fairly and recognizes performance and skills in a transparent way. A fair and broad-based definition of moonlighting must be included in the employment contract. A sound HR policy anchored in ethical management principles will ensure that there is no need to howl at moonlighting.

a. Commitment for the organization.

Indian aviation will fly out of pandemic-induced fare bands with some of its heaviest losses behind it. Indian fliers have also been through a bout of technical glitches that the authorities have traced back to aircraft not having enough certifying manpower and flying with the minimum permissible list of defective equipment. A strong festive demand could reverse the sequential declines in air travel during the ongoing lean season. The removal of airfare caps coincides with a recent softening of jet fuel prices which, however, remain elevated. Freedom to pass on the biggest cost component to fliers should improve the financial metrics of airlines. One is keeping one's fingers crossed and seat belts buckled.

The industry is witnessing a round of capital infusion that also affects the competitive intensity. The Tatas are consolidating the splintered market share of the group's various airlines, and SpiceJet is considering a stake sale to raise funds. Market leader Indigo expects its strong revenue performance will lead it back into profits soon. Although the industry's air traffic yields have surpassed pre-pandemic levels, fuel costs and a declining rupee could subdue earnings. Newly opened up foreign routes are likely to witness stiff competition. The launch of Akasa Air and resumption of operations by Jet Airways will increase demand for airline employees. Air India is restoring salaries to pre-Covid levels.

Industry-wide losses are expected to fall sharply this year as Indian aviation enters another phase of growth. India is among the fastest growing aviation markets in the world and has a lot of catching up to do in terms of the size of its commercial aircraft fleet. Given the country's traffic growth projections, Indian airlines are likely to acquire more clout as aircraft buyers. The government, on its part, has a high budget for decongesting airports and is encouraging the development of the domestic aircraft maintenance industry. As India's airlines fly out of the current cloud bank, sunny skies await.
