New Delhi: Hardening its stance against indisciplined employees, Air India dismissed another seven cabin crew this week for reporting late for work and delaying flights.
This is the second instance of the state-owned carrier taking such stern penal action against its erring employees. Last week, the airline had terminated the services of 10 employees who failed to report on time for duty.
A senior official in Air India told Business Standard: “So far, we’ve terminated the services of 17 of our cabin crew on grounds of indiscipline.”
Of the 17 sacked, around nine are permanent employees. While conceding the airline might face legal hassles for firing permanent employees, the official said that improving performance parameters of the ailing national carrier was a priority and that indiscipline would not be tolerated.
