The striking Air India pilots have not resumed their duties even after Delhi High Court asked them to call off their strike in the larger public interest. The Indian Commercial pilots association leaders say they are having consultations with their lawyers on the High Court Order. According to Air India around 65 flights were cancelled while several others delayed on the second day of the pilots' strike. In Delhi, 33 domestic and five international flights to Kathmandu, Kabul and Dubai were cancelled as the airline management decided to operate only those flights for which cabin crew as well as adequate pilots were available. To tide over the crisis, the national carrier has decided to rope in 150 management or executive pilots to operate the flights. Taking a stern view of the strike, Air India management sacked six ICPA leaders, derecognised the union and sealed their offices across the country. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi said that ICPA's demands of pay parity cannot be accepted at the moment. He asserted that nobody can dictate terms to the government, especially a few pilots. The pilots are demanding pay parity and the removal of top management of Air India and a CBI probe into it's alleged mismanagement.
