New Delhi: For Air India's agitating pilots, sacking may prove to be a blessing in disguise.
As of Saturday, the troubled national carrier had terminated the services of over 70 of its pilots, whose mass action of reporting sick has thrown its operations into chaos.
Aviation experts feel that since they have been served with a termination notice, the pilots will not be required to serve the mandatory six-month notice period.
Mr Debashish Saha, Council Member, Aeronautical Society of India, said, “With termination letters in hand, the pilots can easily join any airline in the world immediately. On the other hand, Air India is set to lose if no one rejoins once the strike is over. In the absence of pilots, aircraft will be grounded. So, this is a win-win situation for them.”
Experts believe the solution to such a situation lies in termination of pilots' licence to fly. With such action, the pilots will realise the serious consequences of their action.
