At least 25 officials from the former Indian Airlines have been offered foreign postings, while only four from erstwhile Air India were offered similar assignments at airports abroad, leaving the employees linked to the latter fuming.
The officials from Air India (International), erstwhile Air India, which oversees international operations of the merged entity, have moved the court against the AI management's decision, alleging bias in favour of erstwhile Indian Airlines employees.
"We have filed a case which is getting postponed on an indefinite basis. But that does not stop us from getting a say on one-sided implementations," said an Air India official.
Out of 25 officials from Air India (domestic), 22 are going on an immediate replacement, while two with definite dates and one on commencement of operations, said the official.

"Look at the four AI (International) officers. Three have to wait for commencement of flight operation and only one on a definite basis. Most of these foreign stations where IA officials have been posted are not for them because they do not have any practical experience about handling airports in a foreign land," said the official.
