Air India pilots, who are up in arms against the airline’s management’s decision to unilaterally alter their salary structure and services conditions, on Tuesday sought Ratan Tata’s intervention in resolving the issue.
In a petition, signed by a little over 1,500 Air India pilots, the community alleged that the “pilots’ concerns are not being heard or addressed by the current HR team”.
On April 17, Air India rolled out a revamped compensation structure for its pilots and cabin crew, which has since been rejected by the two pilot unions – Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) and Indian Pilots Guild (IPG) – on the grounds that the airline, in alleged violation of the labour practices, did not consult them before finalising the new contracts.
