Air India pilots warn of another strike

New Delhi: Air India pilots today warned of another agitation, including a strike, if talks on their demand for pay parity and other issues they had raised during their strike in May, were not started before this month end.
Maintaining that the civil aviation ministry had not responded to their letters in the past two months seeking an appointment with minister Vayalar Ravi, Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) said the pilots were considering another round of agitation, including a strike, "if our problems are not discussed before November 30".
While productivity-linked incentive (PLI) has not been paid for the past four months, issues relating to pay parity, fixed flying allowance and layover subsistence allowance, have also not been settled as yet, ICPA sources said, adding such a situation was leading to a large number of pilots quitting Air India, which was detrimental to the airline.
