Air India pilots threaten to go on strike

MUMBAI: Toughening its posture against the deferment of payment of January salary to February 14 by Air India management, a section of its pilots on Monday threatened to go on a flash strike to protest the move.

"We demand that our salaries should be disbursed by 5pm of February 10, failing which we will go on flash strike," Indian Commercial Pilots Association General Secretary (ICPA) Capt Rishabh Kapoor said.

The management has deferred the salary twice in this month, Kapoor said adding this is not acceptable to pilots.
