New Delhi: NACIL - the company that runs Air India and Indian Airlines - could be in for more trouble. Air India pilots and erstwhile Indian Airlines pilots have now threatened to go on an indefinite strike.
The strike will take place under the banner of the Indian Commercial Pilot Association, the union formed by 800 Indian Airlines pilots.
The pilots are demanding that the management clear their outstanding dues by November 1.
The union claimed they had been paid only 20 per cent of their August salary and that the whole of September and October's payments were pending.
In September, 400 Air India executive pilots had gone on mass sick leave for four days to protest pay cuts. That had resulted in more than 200 flights being cancelled and the airline losing more than Rs 100 crore.
The number of agitating pilots this time is double.
