New Delhi: The strike by 400-odd pilots of erstwhile Air India since May 7 keeps throwing shocker after shocker on the gross inefficiency in the way the airline has traditionally been run.
While first the aviation ministry discovered that 75% of AI's global schedule was being operated despite 50% or half the pilots on strike, now it has found that the senior most management cadre pilots of AI — currently operating all international flights — were also grossly underutilized for doing their primary job of flying.
"AI has 111 executive pilots. Before the strike, about 20 of them were available on an average for flying. Others were busy in training and management jobs. After the strike, the figure went up to 73 in May as they all were needed to fly," said top sources.
