State-owned Air India (AI) wants union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy on board as a pilot and has made an informal proposal to the senior Bharatiya Janta Party MP.
Rudy, a trained commercial pilot and a former aviation minister, confirmed the development to Hindustan Times.
Sources said AI wants Rudy to serve in an "honorary" capacity and bear all training and other related expenses as are applicable to other pilots. "Also, he won't get any remuneration and emoluments like free passage, accommodation, transport and layover allowance that is provided to other crew members," said a source.
"There is an informal proposal from AI. I am still considering it. It will not be at the cost of my work in the government," Rudy told HT. "It can only be with the limited purpose of my license being current," he said.
