It doesn’t seem the Air India pilot’s strike, which entered in its 15th day yesterday, will end anytime soon. The travellers may have to go through the ordeal for some more time and that too because of the supposed clash of big fat egos of the airline management and the members of the agitating pilots’ group.

Maha loss: Air India is now planning a feasibility study to determine international destinations the airline will fly to as it faces a shortage of pilots and to close down loss-making flights. The loss due to ticket cancellations, unused labour and with the bulk of our Boeing-777 fleet grounded now stands at over Rs 250 crore. File pic
