Mumbai: Air India wide-body pilots union IPG has urged the airline management to “immediately” provide suitable compensation to the families of pilots who have lost their lives due to Covid-19.
In a letter to the Air India chairman and managing director on Saturday, the Indian Pilots Guild(IPG) also questioned the company’s HR policies, alleging that the national carrier is the “only PSU” which is “relatively complacent” in terms of compensation in case of death of an employee.
Citing the case of a pilot who died recently due to COVID-19, the IPG said that staff notice informed of “an ad-hoc payment to the family/ legal heir of employees, who die during the period of COVID-19.”
