Air-India-Indian-Airlines
The current attempts at cost cutting, including wages in cash-strapped Air India-Indian Airlines have now taken a desi versus videshi turn. Pilots of erstwhile Indian Airlines have threatened to go on strike if expats get paid in full again, before the desis get their flying allowances that account for 75 percent to 85 percent of the total pay of last two months.
Indian Airline pilots met the airline management in Mumbai on Tuesday and told them that their flying allowances for August had not been paid and September allowance would also become due on November 1. On the other hand, Indian Airline pilots pointed out that the 200-odd expat pilots in Air India, Air India Express and Alliance Air are regularly getting their 14-15,000 Dollars Rs 6.5-7 lakh pay every month without any cut or delay. If in November, the Air India management again pays the expats without giving us our dues, there will be a strike. An Indian Airlines commander gets about Rs 2.5 lakh per month as flying allowance while the basic salary is up to Rs 15,000. For two months, this allowance has not been paid. Indian Airlines has 900-1,000 pilots. If in this situation, expats get their full pay before we get our dues, there will be a chakkajaam, said Captain V K Bhalla, who spearheaded the recent Air India pilots strike. He also met the management on Tuesday. Pilots met Air India CMD Arvind Jadhav and joint secretaries of aviation ministry, Bharat Bhushan and Prasant Sukul, to discuss the cost-cutting plans.
They gave out alleged instances of loss being caused to the Air India even now by upgrades and exemption of excess baggage payment for free. The Air India management has to work out some wage-cut agreement with unions before Friday when they meet a GoM headed by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee to get a bailout from the government.
