The strike by Air India pilots entered the seventh day today. Air India spokesman said that 14 international flights from Delhi and Mumbai have been cancelled today.

The pilots, who are on strike since Tuesday, are not ready to relent from their stand until their demands are met. They have also refused to accept Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh's call to come to the dialogue table after withdrawing their strike.

Yesterday also as many as 20 international flights were cancelled. Hundreds of passengers were stranded following the flight cancellations.

The crisis further worsened yesterday with airline's executive pilots coming out in support of striking pilots, asking the management to revoke the sack orders and hold immediate negotiations to end the impasse.

The striking pilots while stating that they were ready for talks showed no signs of returning to work, leaving passengers fretting with holiday schedules going haywire.
