    Air India to hire over 1,000 pilots amid tussle with pilots for revised pay structure

    #TataGroup-owned #AirIndia will hire more than 1,000 pilots, including captains and trainers, as the airline expands its fleet and network.
    The latest Airbus firm order comprises 210 A320/321 Neo/XLR and 40 A350-900/1000.
    Air India, which remained under government control for close to seven decades, was taken over by Tata Group in late January 2022.
    "We have always been committed to Air India's success and have gone above and beyond to ensure that we provide our passengers with the best possible experience," the pilots said in the petition.
    On April 17, Air India rolled out a revamped compensation structure for its pilots and cabin crew, which has since been rejected by the two pilot unions - Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) and Indian Pilots Guild (IPG) - on grounds that the airline, in alleged violation of labour practices, did not consult them before finalising the new contracts.
