A pilots’ grouping of Tata group-owned Air India has approached the labour department to initiate conciliation proceedings with the airline’s management to sort out various issues, including concerns over possible changes in service conditions of its members.

Apart from service condition issues, the association has flagged that the airline’s plans to hire captains for its A320 fleet on a fixed-term contract may result in an anomalous situation for the existing pilots at Air India.
