Mumbai: Having failed to receive their May salary as assured by the Kingfisher management, the airline pilots have now threatened to approach the DGCA if KFA doesnot meet the commitment by today even as the regulator maintained that the issue is out of its purview.
"We have written to the airline's chief executive that if our salaries are not paid by today we will approach the Director General Civil Aviation to intervene in the issue," airline sources said here.
The airline has not paid salary to most of its 4,000 employees since May.
The management had assured the employees that their three months salaries, out of the seven months, will be paid in tranches by Diwali.
The airline, which is grounded since October 1 after its pilots and engineers went on strike demanding payment of dues, has temporarily lost its flying license.
However, the airline managed to convince the employees to end their agitation by assuring them that their three-month dues (March to May) will be remitted in three installments by Diwali.
