AIR INDIA PILOTS HEADED FOR NEW ROUND OF PROTEST
New Delhi,India : The Indian Commercial Pilots’ Association (ICPA) has sent a legal notice to Air India (AI) for implementing new flight duty time limitation given by the aviation regulator without consulting the union.
The guidelines govern aspects like the maximum daily flight duty period including flying hours limitations, rest period, staff on duty travel and number of landings allowed per pilot as well as the crew to retain their licence.
The legal notice was sent to the AI’s chairman and managing director Rohit Nandan last week on Friday, by the ICPA, a pilots union of erstwhile Indian Airlines with over 800 members, on the issue of the airline unilaterally altering the FDTL.
