Indian Commercial Pilots Association informed the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) officials to clear their long-pending dues immediately and allow pilots to quit Air India with immediate effect.
A meeting was held on July 8 which was attended by Indian Pilot’s Guild, officials of MoCA and the chairman and managing director of Air India.
“Firstly, we expressed our disapproval for trying to attack the frontline workers of Air India who worked during the peak of the pandemic. However, we expressed our willingness to support our CMD during these testing times in the interest of the airline, provided every employee of Air India shares the burden by taking a percentage cut on gross emoluments as per individual’s income,” the pilots union said.
