The Indian Commercial Pilots Association has warned that pilots at Air India could down tools if the airline fails to implement a vaccination rollout for flight crew. In a letter to Air India’s Director of Operations R S Sandhu the union said ‘pilots are risking their lives without a vaccination.’
It is an ‘ever-present occupational hazard’ it says, and if the airline doesn’t set up a vaccination program ‘we will stop work.’
It sees an ‘injustice’ that vaccinations have been provided for management and some some desk positions but not pilots.
