New Delhi: National carrier Air India and the country's regulator the DGCA could be heading for some serious trouble and embarrassment as a section of the Air India employees plan to approach the American regulator the FAA on the alleged violations being regularly committed by Air India. The union also threatens that if the matter isn't resolved within days they would not just report the matter to FAA but also stop serving meals in the entire length of the long haul flight. This comes at a time when the FAA after its security audit just recently has placed the DGCA on a notice period to correct the lapses. If the FAA is not satisfied by the corrective measures put in place by the DGCA then the Indian regulator could be downgraded and that could mean trouble in the form of security checks and restrictions for Air India and Jet Airways flights flying to the US.
The All India Cabin Crew Association talking exclusively to Headlines Today maintained that time and again they have tried to present the pending issues to the management but the matters have never been addressed. This the union maintains has demoralised the workers immensely. The union adds that violations have now become a regular in Air India and that the lives of the passengers and the crew are being put in danger. The union directly charges the management for the current situation.
