Govt won’t bow to pilots

New Delhi/Mumbai: Air India will not bow down before the threat of a strike held out by any union of the airline in future and the airline could even be “shutdown” in a worst-case scenario if other unions strike work after implementation of the Justice Dharmadhikari report on pay parity and other issues, top civil aviation ministry sources said on Friday.
So far as the ongoing pilot strike is concerned, the civil aviation ministry is likely to request the Indian Air Force (IAF) to set up medical boards to examine pilots who had earlier reported sick, sources said. Meanwhile, some of the union leaders of the IPG returned disappointed to Mumbai from Delhi on Friday even as the strike entered its 12th day on Friday night with no solution in sight.
