Mumbai: A section of Air India pilots have threatened to stop operations if their flying allowance dues are not paid immediately.
Alleging that while the salaries and perks of other employees are paid in full albeit with a delay, the same for the pilots and cabin crew are "ignored", despite the fact that flying allowances of these two licenced categories of employees form a major chunk of their salaries.
"We would like to inform you if the flying allowance is not paid immediately, we may not be available for flying duties," the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) said in a communication to Air India's director of finance today.
ICPA represent over 700 pilots of the airline's Airbus 320 family fleet.
"Since the company has paid the salary, the pilots will report to the office for any office duty of their expertise other than flying duties," it added.
