Air India can hire Jet Airways co-pilots, not 'costly Captains': IPG
The Indian Pilots` Guild (IPG), one of Air India pilots` union, on Saturday urged the national carrier`s management to hire just Boeing 777 (B-777) rated co-pilots on short-term contracts instead of hiring Captains who come at a high cost.
According to the IPG, if Air India plans to procure more B-777 aircraft to fill the vacuum created by the failure of a private airline (Jet Airways), it is understandable to hire co-pilots on short-term basis. Image source: Reuters
