Mumbai: Threatening to move contempt petition against its "unilateral" decision to change their service conditions, Air India cabin crew today shot off a letter to the management urging it to withdraw the order entailing increased duty hours.
"We call upon you to initiate dialogue with the Association and withdraw the illegal order," the apex cabin crew body All India Cabin Crew Association (AICCA) said in a letter here today.
On September 11, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh had directed Air India to follow the DGCA guidelines on FDTL (flight duty time limitation) for pilots and cabin crew, saying that a comprehensive analysis had warranted the change.
The directive has resulted in increased duty hours of the cabin crew by varying degrees depending upon the sectors they fly.
