Strike by Air India pilots

It refers to a justified strike by a section of Air India pilots from erstwhile Indian Airlines now merged with Air India demanding parity in pay-structure and other work-conditions at par with pilots who originally belonged to Air India itself before merger. Even various RTI responses also reveal that despite merger being done quite a few years ago, process of actual merger of erstwhile Indian Airlines in Air India is still not complete. RTI responses also reveal huge loss to National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) because of such a slow merger-process.

Instead of crushing strike of Air India pilots, NACIL should instead assure for a time-bound completion of merger-process in interest of all concerned.
