New Delhi: More bad news has hit the nearly 26,000 employees and officers of financially crippled state-run carrier Air India. They will now have to "wait a while" for promotions, which are overdue for nearly six to eight years.
The four-member panel—headed by former Supreme Court Judge DM Dharmadhikari—which was set up six months ago to address integration issues, including wage revision and rationalisation and restructuring of the merged entity now called Air India, was supposed to submit its report on 11 November. But the report is now likely to be tabled by early next year.
"The panel was supposed to submit its report on 11 November 11, 2011, this year, but as one of its member, professor Ravindra H Dholakia, (a faculty member with the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad) is sick and has been advised bed rest till 15 December, the panel will submit its report when all the members are on board," an Air India official told the Financial World. On being asked if the panel had sought an extension, the official said, "Yes, but no time frame has been fixed."
Employees of the merged entity, who are already facing salary delay, have been denied time-bound promotions since the two airlines merged in March 2007. Delay in human resource integration after the two airlines, the erstwhile Air India and Indian Airlines, were merged is the main reason for the problem.
