Do not succumb to Air India's pampered pilots: Assocham

New Delhi: The government should show a resolve to turnaround debt-ridden Air India and should not succumb to black-mail tactics of its "pampered pilots" in future, industry body Assocham has said.
Expressing a sense of relief at the end of 58-day long pilots' strike, Assocham said that restructuring of Air India must be done based on the recommendations of the Dharmadhikari Committee Report, "whether pilots like it or not".
The government should show a resolve to turnaround the bleeding national carrier which used to hold a place of pride in the past, it said.
"At this juncture when the national economy is grappling with slowdown and the aviation industry is feeling massive heat, can we afford the taxpayers' money go down the drain just because a few pilots resort to black-mailing tactics," it added.
