New Delhi: The ongoing strike by a section of Air India pilots appeared to be heading towards a resolution.
Cracks have already begun to surface, with three striking pilots rejoining work on Wednesday.
As the strike looked set to enter its 11th day, the decision to call off the strike hinges on whether – or how many – of the 71 pilots who were sacked are taken back.
Over 250 pilots had joined the agitation by reporting ‘sick'. This affected normal flight operations of the airline and caused a daily revenue loss of Rs 12-15 crore.
Of the 71 pilots who were terminated from service, 10 are office bearers of the Indian Pilots Guild (IPG), which spearheaded the flash strike. The other sacked pilots are members of the Guild. The Guild is the apex body of the pre-merger overseas carrier Air India's pilots.
