Recently, there has been conflict between the management and the pilots over pay cut and reviewed remuneration between the pilots and the management, which finally culminated to the sacking of some pilots. Sources say those affected are signatories to the agitations.
The management had proposed the pay cut barely on resumption of flights after over four months of suspension, arguing that continuing with the extant salary structure was not sustainable in view of the low passengers’ turnout.
Sources in the airline said the management had been engaging the pilots to see reason for the pay cut which it said was beyond it in view of the negative impact of COVID-19 on the aviation business.
