Elon Musk replaces Twitter's blue bird logo with 'Doge' meme
San Francisco: The change is currently only visible on the web version of Twitter and not on the app. The move comes as part of Musk's ongoing efforts to shake things up at the company since he acquired it in a $44 billion deal last year. Bloomberg has reported that the value of Dogecoin rose by almost 30% following the logo change.
Elon Musk announced the change of Twitter's classic blue bird logo to the "doge" meme on his Twitter account. To confirm the update, he posted a meme of a police officer checking a document, while Doge says it's an old photo. Additionally, Musk shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with a Twitter user before taking over the company, where he asked if there was a need for a new platform. The user suggested that Musk should buy Twitter and replace the blue bird logo with a Doge, to which Musk replied "as promised."
Since taking over Twitter in October, Elon Musk has implemented a number of changes to the platform. One recent change is that Twitter will be ending its old verified program on April 1, and users will have to pay $8 per month for a verified blue checkmark.
In a separate incident, Twitter removed the verified check mark from the New York Times' Twitter page after the company refused to pay for it. In response to a comment from a user about random users being verified while the New York Times wasn't, Musk said that the company did exactly what he wanted them to do.

Regulator DGCA eases flight duty norms for pilots amid IndiGo crisis
Mumbai (PTI): Aviation watchdog DGCA on Friday eased the flight duty norms by allowing substitution of leaves with a weekly rest period amid massive operational disruptions at IndiGo, according to sources.
As per the revised Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms, "no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest", which means that weekly rest period and leaves are to be treated separately. The clause was part of efforts to address fatigue issues among the pilots.
Citing IndiGo flight disruptions, sources told PTI that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has decided to withdraw the provision 'no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest' from the FDTL norms.

"In view of the ongoing operational disruptions and representations received from various airlines regarding the need to ensure continuity and stability of operations, it has been considered necessary to review the said provision," DGCA said in a communication dated December 5.
The gaps in planning ahead of the implementation of the revised FDTL, the second phase of which came into force from November 1, have resulted in crew shortage at IndiGo and is one of the key reasons for the current disruptions.
