Day 9 of Air India pilots` strike: 9 more flights cancelled
New Delhi :The crisis in Air India worsened further on the ninth day following the cancellation of 9 more flights, media reports said on Wednesday.
The government on Tuesday promised to hear the pilots' grievances unconditionally and appealed to them to return to work as the "almost bankrupt" airline had already lost Rs 150 crore and they had the "last chance" to revive it.
Replying to a debate in Lok Sabha during which members voiced concern over the hardship caused to passengers by the strike, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said there would be no vindictive action if the striking pilots came for talks unconditionally, but remained silent on the fate of the 71 pilots already sacked.
"Strike is not an answer to solve your grievances .... All the grievances will be heard unconditionally. You come to talks unconditionally ... Please go back to work," he said while replying to a debate on the civil aviation sector and Air India.
"Air India management will in no way be vindictive towards any employee .... A lot of young people have just joined (as pilots). But the first priority should be that passengers are not inconvenienced," he said.
