Mumbai: The Parliamentary Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Caste and Schedule Tribes has ordered the police to register a case against the national carriers' executive director, in-flight services, for alleged harassment of a cabin crew member.
Om Prabha Salhotra, an airhostess with Air India, had in 2014 filed a fatigue report alleging that Flight Duty Time Limits (FDTL) laid down by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) were not followed and horizontal rest was not provided.
The airhostess alleged that filing of the fatigue report did not go well with the management and executive director Harpreet Singh, who pressured her to withdraw the report, failing which they derostered (took her off) her from all flight duties.
Alleging that this amounted to illegally depriving an individual of her right to earn an living and fundamental right to earn, Salhotra in her complaint to the parliamentary committee claimed that she spent a year trying to reason with the airline before moving the committee as Air India's action against her was also against the dignity of women, especially scheduled caste women.
