Another round of talks is in progress between Government and striking Air India pilots to sort out a few sticking issues in a bid to end the 9-day-old stir. They held two rounds of talks since last evening and maintained that parleys are moving in the right direction. Both the parties hoped a resolution to the agitation may emerge soon. An Air India spokesman said that the national carrier has opened bookings for Metro sectors from today. Bookings for other domestic sectors will continue to be suspended till Sunday Air India services contniued to remain crippled today with the airline managing to operate only 10 per cent of its services which is about 40 of its daily 320 flights. National Air Line, which has sacked seven pilots and suspended six others, is suffering an estimated operational loss of 26 crore rupees per day on account of the stir. Delhi High Court on Tuesday slapped contempt notices on nine office bearers of the de-recognised ICPA for disobeying its order to call off the strike. It would take up the matter again on 25 of this month. Apart from meeting their demands, the pilots are seeking revocation of sackings, suspensions and transfers during the strike period.
