New Delhi: The controversy over Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh's order to Air India pilots and cabin crew to put in more flying hours today reached the Delhi High Court which asked the pilots' union to give details of the "drastic" changes in flight duty time limitations (FDTL).
Justice Suresh Kait, who did not pass any interim order on the plea of Indian Commercial Pilots' Association (ICPA), the union of erstwhile Indian Airlines, asked it to file an additional affidavit with detailed information on changes made by Air India in the FDTL in pursuance of Singh's order.
The court would now hear the matter on October 5.
The ICPA, in its plea, has sought setting aside the minister's order asking the national carrier to "immediately implement" the guidelines of Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which asked pilots and cabin crew to put in more flying hours.
