Pilots union sends legal notice to Air India over revised service agreement

Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), a pilots union at Air India, on Friday sent a legal notice to the airline for allegedly coercing its members individually to sign revised service agreements.

Also, ICPA and another union Indian Pilots Guild (IPG) on Friday sent a letter to Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran for “personal intervention against HR (human resources) is exploitation of Air Indians”.

Air India’s HR team had on April 16 and 17 sent emails to members of ICPA stating that each of them is being promoted to the position of “senior commander”, making them eligible to monthly “management allowance” and responsible to “management duties”.
