Air India employees 'fed up' with company workings: Sources

Air India may have constituted a committee to ensure the implementation of the Dharmadhikari Report but a certain section of its employees are in no mood to wait anymore. CNBC-TV18's Sunanda Jayaseelan learns that even as the committee looks for ways to resolve pay parity issues amongst others, employees who have been getting their salaries on a staggered basis say they are fed up with the way things are being run.
A section of pilots of what was the pre-merger Air India, the Indian Pilots’ Guild, had gone on strike for about 58 days. It had been called off in July and the bulk of the salary was cleared before Diwali. A part of funds raised from NCD issue was used to pay the outstanding salaries.
However, CNBC-TV18 understands from sources that all certified employees, which is basically your pilots and engineers, get about 60-80 percent of their total salary as variable pay. After the Dharmadhikari Report was formalised a committee was set up and it was decided to do away with this entire variable pay.
