Two days before the handover, Air India unions have raised concerns over various issues, such as a cut in arrears and weight check of cabin crew at airports.
While the pilot unions have complained about “illegal” deduction in arrears and warned of a legal recourse in case the full amount is not paid to them immediately, the cabin crew association has termed the weight and body mass index (BMI) checks at airports as a “violation” of service conditions.
The airline management had imposed a unilateral 25 per cent cut in salaries and allowances of all employees in 2012.
