Some good signs for the "king of good times" who has been facing some tough times. First his Kingfisher airlines are already running under huge loss, secondly the oil companies refused to give fuel unless previous outstanding bills were cleared. The second issue was sorted out after much hard work and another problem pooped out. The pilot of the airlines call for a strike.
How today on Friday 11th of May all the pilots of the Kingfisher Airlines Called off their strike. This step was taken after the management assured them of that all the pending salaries since January will be paid by May 15. The airline had canceled 12 flights on Friday after pilots failed to report to work. Earlier the chairman Vijay Mallya on Thursday communicated employees on strike of strict actions. Airlines have been facing such problems in the past as well. In March pilots threatened for a strike but it was canceled after assurance of payment from management.
Perhaps this is tough time for all the airlines in India and abroad as well. Many of the Airline Companies are facing tough times and running in huge losses. Aviation industry in India is under crisis. Interestingly the pilots of government operated airlines called Indian airlines are still n strike and the airlines have canceled lots of international flights. Government has taken a strict action by firing around 36 pilots that are on strike and also canceled the validity of the pilots guild. Approximate 3000 Air India pilots are on strike.
Not sure about when Air India pilots will call of the strike but definitely there will be some relief for passengers as Kingfisher Airlines pilots are back to work.
