Mumbai: Air India has lodged a complaint with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation citing a crippling manpower crunch due to 10 of the 40 pilots who quit the national carrier over the past year failing to serve the mandatory six-month notice period.
The complaint to the aviation regulator comes even as the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) has locked horns with AI management over their removal from the workmen category.
Pilots who have quit AI say the timing is incidental. The pilots insist that all those who quit had intimated the airline. "When the airline has introduced pay cuts and not followed the service contracts, expecting the pilots to do so is stupid," one of the 10 pilots being blamed for not serving the notice period, said.
