They have demanded vaccination of crew on priority amid COVID-19 pandemic
New Delhi: Air India pilots union (ICPA) has threatened to "stop work" if the airline fails to set up vaccination camps on a ‘pan India` basis for the flying crew.
In a letter written to
Air India`s Director of Operations RS Sandhu, ICPA said, "With no healthcare support to the flying crew, no insurance, and a massive opportunistic pay cut, we are in no position to continue risking the lives of our pilots without vaccination."
"Our finances are already spread thin covering our bedridden colleagues and provisioning for families lest we inadvertently infect them with the deadly virus that is an ever-present occupational hazard for us."
