It's raining promotions in loss-making Air India (AI) just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, in brazen violation of norms and a Bombay High Court (HC) order restricting promotions.
In an unprecedented move, the management of the bleeding Maharaja announced a phenomenal 203 promotions last month, even as it is supposed to curtail the salary bill for a turnaround.
In February, the airline promoted as many as 126 senior managers to assistant general managers (AGM), 24 AGMs to DGM, 23 managers to senior managers and 30 deputy managers to managers.
Civil aviation minister Ajit Singh refused to comment on the matter.
Official documents accessed by Mail Today reveal that many of these promotions were based on proforma, which means that the executives were actually not due for promotion but promoted merely because their juniors had superseded them.
