Such a situation has the potential to flair to an unprecedented magnitude.\u201d
\nThe Indian Commercial Pilots\u2019 Association (ICPA) on Monday wrote to airline chairman and managing director (CMD) Rajiv Bansal that while it supports \u201ctemporary austerity measures at all fronts\u201d due to coronavirus, the restructuring should be equitable.
