Air India pilots to meet Aviation Secy before taking call on ‘industrial action’

Air India pilots had, on November 29, given an ultimatum of three days to the Air India management to meet their demands. Air India pilots have been writing to the airline since October but they haven’t received any reply. (HT PHOTO.)
Air India pilots, who had warned the management of a strike, have decided to meet Rajiv Bansal, aviation secretary (also their chairman and managing director) once before announcing their decision of going on a strike. The Air India pilots have warned the airline of ‘Industrial Action’ if their pay-cuts and arrears are not duly paid before Air India is handed over to the new owner.
