Patel likely to meet Air India employee unions

Mumbai: Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel is likely to meet Air India staff unions, including pilots, on 14 to discuss rationalisation of incentives and allowances in line with the airline's turnaround plans.
"The Minister (Praful Patel) is likely to hold a meeting with the staff unions from a cross-section of departments on the turnaround plan," sources said.
The proposed meeting comes in the backdrop of the recent five-day long stir by executive pilots after the management suggested up to 50 per cent cuts in their productivity-linked incentive (PLI) and flying allowance.
The proposal was deferred after the employees, including pilots and engineers, vehemently opposed any cut, maintaining that the staffers should not be blamed for Air India's mounting losses.
