New Delhi: Delays in Air India flights due to lack of crew and trained staff today evoked concern in the Rajya Sabha, with a member claiming that the airline was operating planes for which its crew was not trained.
Raising the issue of Air India's "apathy", Vivek Gupta of Trinamool Congress said the crew in the national carrier was being "forced" to operate aircraft in which they are not trained.
Taking note of it, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien said the government should listen to this, though he felt this "may not be true and should not be true".
The TMC member said in his Zero Hour mention that he wanted to draw the government's attention to a recent instance when untrained people were sent to check spare-parts condition in an aircraft.
