How can the new rest norms for pilots impact the salary of Air India employees

Air India informs DGCA that the new rest norms for pilots will reduce their salary.
  • Reduction in flying hours: With increased resting time mandated by the new norms, pilots will be able to fly fewer hours, resulting in a decrease in flight allowances which are often a significant part of their salary.
  • Overtime pay: If pilots exceed their daily or monthly flight hour limits due to operational requirements, they may lose out on overtime pay as their duty hours are now restricted under the new rest norms.
  • Possible renegotiation of contracts: Air India may need to renegotiate existing pilot contracts to adjust salary structures in alignment with the changed rest norms, potentially leading to salary reductions or changes in compensation packages.
