Fly first, talks later: Govt to striking Air India pilots

New Delhi/Mumbai: "Fly first, talks later" was Government's firm message to striking Air India pilots refusing to resume work for the seventh day on Monday, as the airline stopped West-bound bookings for another two days and contemplated suspending global operations.
As losses in the wake of the agitation by over 200 pilots of the Indian Pilots Guild crossed over Rs150 crore, 14 international flights were cancelled, bringing no end to the woes of the passengers.
The airline, which had stopped taking bookings for flights to North America and Europe till Tuesday, extended the period till May 17, airline officials said.
One of the options being mulled is shutting international operations temporarily till a resolution to the stir is reached, they said.
