How long will this strike continue? Why are the pilots refusing to come back?
We have tried our best to end the ongoing stir. I have personally requested the pilots to resume work with an assurance that there will be no victimisation, but they did not come back. They are not obeying orders of Delhi High Court that has deemed the strike illegal. They are not ready to accept the Justice Dharmadhikari report, which is a part of the turnaround plan. They are putting conditions like government recognition for their union. We have said that there is a process through which this can be achieved, but they are not agreeing to that either.u00a0
