In a letter, Air India Airbus’ pilots’ union, the Indian Commercial Pilots Guild (ICPA), on Tuesday, asked the national carrier to vaccinate not just their employees but even dependent family members, HT has learnt.
“Factoring in the government policy, we request the partisans who made vaccination for flying crew possible to extend the privilege of vaccinating the dependent family members of the flying crew. Limiting vaccination against Covid-19 only to employees is not going to help the process,” the letter dated June 1, read.
Air India lost five of its pilots to Covid-19 last month. The airline began vaccinating its pilots on May 15.
