Air India pilot unions — IPG and ICPA — on Monday warned the airline management to roll back the “illegal” salary cut within three days or face industrial action. The two pilot unions — Indian Pilots Guild and Indian Commercial Pilots Association — have been demanding restoration of full pay, which was slashed by “55%” last April, owing to the pandemic.
ICPA and IPG together claim to represent some 1,000 pilots at Air India.
The loss-making Air India at present is under government control but is soon to be handed over to its new owner Tata Group.
