New Delhi: Two executive pilots of national carrier Air India resigned from their posts citing 'fatigue' and 'stress', reports said on Thursday.
After serving the airline for over two decades, two senior commanders S Sen and Rahul Tunara submitted their resignation letters to the management recently and alleged every flight of Air India is a 'disaster in the making' with a major disaster imminent because the airline is forcing fatigued pilots to fly.
In his resignation letter Sen, who is with the airline since 1991, complained of the low safety standards.
Tunara, in his letter dated June 8, said: "There has been no discussion on the safety aspect arising due to low morale because of sacking of 101 pilots, loss of homes due to delayed salaries and mindless rostering of pilots and financial penalties for reporting sick."
As many as 30 executive pilots of Air India reported sick on Tuesday.
