Amid the acute cabin crew shortage faced by Air India leading to flight delays in some cases, the airline’s pilots have raised their voices against the management over long work hours and have written to the chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director (MD) Campbell Wilson and its chief human resource manager, to highlight their issues.
The letter, accessed by HT, mentions that they (pilots) will not and cannot work beyond their maximum flying hours.
“We cannot assure that our members will undertake flying duties exceeding 70 hours a month. Any coercive action by the management will lead to industrial action to safeguard flight safety and well-being of our members,” the letter dated December 13 stated.
