Govt offers to take back sacked AI pilots on 'case-by-case' basis

New Delhi: Making an attempt to end the over two-week impasse, the Government on Wednesday offered to take back 101 sacked Air India pilots on a case-by-case basis and made a fresh appeal to the protesters to return to work even as the Delhi High Court slapped contempt notices on 67 pilots and their union for disobeying court orders.
"There is no bar on taking anybody back but it will be done on a case by case basis," Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh told reporters in New Delhi.
"We have said it again and again that we are willing to talk and I have committed that in Parliament. Please come back to work. There will be no victimisation," he said.
"They are not willing to talk unconditionally. They have conditions. It is an illegal strike," Singh said, adding that Air India management was taking "whatever action they need to take".
