AI does away with senior pilots in top management jobs

New Delhi: After changing the top guard at the national carrier Air India, the airline management is doing away with the practice of appointing senior airline pilots at top administrative positions.
A senior airline pilot, Captain MP Sharma has been removed as the officiating General Manager, in charge of operations department in Mumbai, said sources. He has now been transferred back to his parent department as a captain to undertake flying duties. “This in keeping with the ministry’s direction that airline’s pilots should not be appointed to administrative positions barring those where their expertise may be needed like training etc,” said a top ministry official. Earlier, the new CMD Rohit Nandan had removed two senior pilots who were appointed as Officer on Special Duty to his predecessor from that post.
