Indicating more trouble ahead for Air India, Indian Pilots Guild president and NCP leader Jitendra Awhad on Saturday demanded immediate formulation of a clear-cut HR policy to pave the way for a smooth workforce integration, which is the bone of contention.
The strike called by IPG, which entered the fifth day on Saturday, has crippled Air India's international operations with the cancellation of 16 flights during the day.
"The issue is not confined to pilots. As the merger process moves ahead, the differences between the two groups (erstwhile Indian Airlines and Air India) are bound to widen further," Awhad told reporters in Mumbai.
There are differences in the work culture and work policies, Awhad said, adding the management needs to formulate a clear-cut policy on the manpower integration, which has been pending for the past five years.
