Air India sets up committee to review global operations

With the Air India management mulling sacking 300 more pilots who have been on strike for the past 34 days, the troubled national carrier has set up a committee to review its global operations to find out how many pilots are required to operate flights.
This committee would advise the management on the actual number of pilots needed to run Air India's international operations, airline officials said, adding it was felt that the carrier had far more pilots than it needed.
Since the strike began on May 7, Air India has sacked 101 striking pilots and de-recognised the Indian Pilots' Guild which has been leading this agitation.
The Air India management is contemplating dismissing 300 pilots owing allegiance to IPG.
