New Delhi: Conciliation talks between the Air India management and the pilots before the Deputy Chief Labour Commission concluded on Thursday and the report will be submitted to the Delhi High Court on Friday.
The airline management is understood to have made submissions during the parleys on major issues, including reinstatement of 101 sacked pilots, on which the aviators had some reservations.
On the second day of negotiations yesterday, there was some indication of cooling off from both sides which had remained adamant on their respective stands on key issues.
On Wednesday, the Air India management had offered to withdraw legal proceedings related to the pilots' strike.
The talks were being held following a Delhi High Court directive to the airline management and the pilots to hold day-to-day conciliation proceedings to expeditiously resolve issues relating to reinstatement of sacked pilots and their career progression.
The court asked the Labour Commissioner to report back the proceedings tomorrow when it takes up the matter for further hearing.
Over 400 pilots, led by the now-derecognised union Indian Pilots Guild (IPG), had gone on a 58-day strike over issues like promotions and training on Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes.
Besides seeking revocation of all sack orders, the IPG is demanding withdrawal of all cases slapped by the airline against the pilots and complaints lodged against them with the DGCA, restoration of recognition to IPG and payment of pending salaries and allowances.
