Air India pilots expect management to fasten duty resumption process

Mumbai: A day after Air India pilots called off their 58-day-old strike, the union which spearheaded the stir on Wednesday said it may take up to two months before the pilots resume active duty and restore normalcy to the national carrier's overseas operations.
"All pilots resuming active duty involves more than the administrative procedures. We will have to undergo medical tests, a two-day ground technical refresher course and also one or two sessions on simulators which may take up to two months. Expediting all these processes are in the hands of the management," Indian Pilots' Guild (IPG) Joint Secretary and Spokesperson Tauseef Mukkadam told reporters here.
It is, however, difficult to give a definite date (to resume active duty), he said.
