IndiGo has revised the contract terms of pilots who are undergoing training, with new terms including up to a 50 percent cut in salaries and a change in rostering.
Most of these pilots, sources told Moneycontrol, had joined the country's largest airline from Jet Airways, which had suspended operations in April last year.
"These are non-released pilots. They have got a 50 percent pay cut, and the new contract is valid till March 2021," said a senior executive from the industry.
Pilots undergoing training are called 'non-released'.
According to the new contract, these pilots will be on a two-week-on and two-week-off schedule. Normally, a pilot is asked to be available for the full month, and leaves depend on the rostering. Reduced flying hours impacts the allowances a pilot gets.
Moneycontrol has written to IndiGo for a response, and will update the story accordingly.
The airline had announced pay cuts from May. This was after it had rolled back a similar announcement in April. In a mail to employees, CEO Ronojoy Dutta had said "Leave without pay will range from 1.5-5 days depending on the employee group. Level A employees, who form a majority of our workforce will not be impacted."
