The Delhi High Court on Monday asked Air India to consider paying at least one month’s salary to its pilots, engaged on contractual basis, whose services were suspended in April and later terminated in August, saying that employees cannot be left to hang high and dry. Justice Navin Chawla asked the counsel for national carrier Air India to take instructions on paying one month’s salary to the contractual pilots, who number around 61. The services of these pilots were terminated in August.
