Air India pilots demand vaccination on priority
NEW DELHI: Air India pilots have threatened to stop working if they are not vaccinated immediately on priority, stating that they were in no position to continue risking their lives and their families’.
“With no health care support to the flying crew, no insurance, and a massive opportunistic pay cut, we are in no position to continue risking the lives of our pilots without vaccination. Our finances are already spread thin covering our bedridden colleagues and provisioning for families lest we inadvertently infect them with the deadly virus that is an ever-present occupational hazard for us,” pilot body ICPA said in a letter written to AI management.
