New Delhi: Air India is headed for a strike and disruption of summer schedules. The cabin crew of Air India has refused to go by a circular given by the HR citing various legal cases in progress on the issues raised by the management.
In the last one week, ten cabin crew were sacked by Air India citing late reporting, refusing to ply on certain routes and not turning up for work. The cabin crew association has said that if the management does not cancel the sacking orders, it would give a strike notice to Air India.
The strike would come in summer which sees peak traffic for Air India to destinations abroad. Gulf Indians who depend largely on Air India for travel to India during the summer holidays will be put to difficulty.
Air India has 3000 cabin crew who work on International flights. Air India management says that OTP (on time performance) has declined largely due to late reporting of cabin crew. In turn, the delay in flights leads to passengers shifting preference to private airlines where the rules are strict on reporting for duty.
