The current crisis resulted, Air India has forced to sack 48 pilots who resigned last year but withdrew their resignations within the six months’ notice period time as per rules. The Company is incurring huge net losses and does not have the financial ability to pay, the letter said.
As per the report, all of them had resigned before and withdrew the resignation. Their withdrawal of the resignation was accepted earlier and many of them were flying while, all of sudden, Air India sacked them on Thursday night, by sending them a letter. Some of them had resigned in 2019 and withdrew their resignations within permitted time of six months as stipulated. Out of sacked pilots , some of them were still flying.
"The current operations are a small fraction of pre-COVID level and is unlikely to increase in the near foreseeable future. The Company is incurring huge net losses and does not have the financial ability to pay," the letter said. Before this, Air India's decision to send its staff to staff to unpaid leaves for five years.
"Recent decisions of the Air India board regarding rationalization of staff cost were reviewed in a meeting at the Ministry of Civil Aviation this evening. The meeting reiterated that unlike other carriers which have laid off a large number of their employees, no employee of AirIndia will be laid off," the national carrier had said on Twitter.
Indian Commercial Pilots' Association (ICPA) has now written a terse letter to Chairman and Managing Director of Air India, Rajiv Bansal, seeking "urgent intervention against illegal terminations of pilots".
