AI contemplates further crackdown on striking pilots
A further crackdown on the striking Air India pilots is being contemplated by the management and that 300 pilots could be dismissed with the 35-day-old strike showing no signs of being called off.
Around 400 Air India pilots owing allegiance to Indian Pilots Guild(IPG) are on strike since May 7 and the services of 101 pilots have already been terminated.
Sources in the state-owned airline said “tough action” would be taken against the remaining 300-odd pilots and gave indications that they could be sacked.
