AI pilots stick to strike threat

Air India pilots today renewed their threat to go on strike from November 24, if their demands for incentives and allowances were not met in the next five days.



"The ICPA will not withdraw its strike call on November 24 unless all its demands are met by November 10," a resolution adopted by the Central Committee of the Indian Commercial Pilots' Association (ICPA) said.



After their meeting in Chennai, ICPA sources said: "Even if the government clears our three month dues (allowances), we are not going to relent. We want the government to implement all the pending demands".
