New Delhi: Government may take up tomorrow the issue of rationalisation of pay and allowances of Air India's pilots, engineers and cabin crew to keep them on par with global industry standards, official sources said today.
While fixing the salary and allowances of the employees as per the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) guidelines, the Justice D M Dharmadhikari Committee, which went into all HR issues including pay and seniority, had recommended that the pay structure of these licenced staffers should be decided in accordance with the industry standards.
Since these issues fell beyond DPE guidelines, the approval of the Cabinet was required, the sources said.
Keeping this in mind, the Civil Aviation Ministry had initiated an inter-ministerial discussion on a note on restructuring of the pay structure of Air India's pilots and cabin crew. This discussion is now over, they said.
