Pilot bodies at Tata Group-owned Air India have asked their members not to sign revised terms and conditions and warned the management of industrial unrest if it resorts to victimisation or coercive step, as per a communication on Wednesday.
According to union sources, Air India has unilaterally changed the condition without consulting the pilots, and alleged that they are trying to make all senior pilots management pilots and thus kill the unions.
On Thursday, the two pilot unions at the airline — Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) and Indian Pilots Guild (IPG) — held a joint meeting on April 18 to discuss the issue, following which they issued a communication to their members, asking them not to accept or sign revised terms and conditions.
