Day 2 of Air India strike: 400 pilots join stir
Mumbai: The crisis at state-owned carrier Air India worsened on Wednesday. About 400 agitating pilots failed to report to work for the second day disrupting flight schedules and leaving passengers stranded across airports in the country.
The image of the struggling airline was further dented even as its management was in Mumbai negotiating with bankers for its financial restructuring.
Taking a cue from the civil aviation minister's tough spiel against the striking pilots on Tuesday, an angry management lashed at the truant pilots by sacking 10 more, taking the total number of sacked pilots to 20 in two days.
The mass sacking of airline pilots is in itself a record in the country. The sackings on Tuesday were essentially of the committee members of the agitating unions while the pilots who were shown the door on Wednesday were a mixed lot.
