After matching with him, the woman replied to his photo with a cheeky message, writing, “Brother, I still haven’t received the refund for my flight yet.” Moments later, she alleged that the pilot unmatched her on the app, leaving her joke unanswered.

Since it was posted, the tweet has crossed 1.2 lakh views and received thousands of likes, reposts, and replies, with many users saying the timing of the joke made it particularly relatable.

The remark appeared to reference IndiGo’s recent operational disruptions earlier this month, when the airline drew nationwide criticism over flight delays, cancellations, and refund-related issues. At the time, several passengers had taken to social media to voice complaints about delayed refunds and lack of communication.

As a result, many found the interaction both humorous and painfully accurate. “He didn’t want to become an unofficial customer care executive,” one user joked.

“I think ‘bhaiya’ in the first conversation itself was deal breaker, plus given how recent the situation is, it was probably not funny for them,” commented another.

“In his defence, you started the convo with ‘bhaiya’,” joked a third user. “He’s probably tired of hearing that every damn day. I don’t blame him,” wrote one user.
