Indian Pilots Guild ready to set aside demands if recognition is restored

The Indian Pilots Guild (IPG), leading the Air India pilots' strike, today said it was ready to set aside all demands to end the strike if the government restored recognition to the union.

"As Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh has assured us that our demands will be looked into, we all are ready to set aside our other demands and resume duties forthwith. But then we want the government to re-recognise the union to enable us represent the pilots during deliberations on the Dharmadhikari Committee report," an IPG spokesperson told PTI here.

The IPG was de-recognised and services of 101 pilots were terminated after they started reporting sick from May seven.
There has so far been no official response to the statement, but sources said the IPG has already gone to court to seek restoration of its recognition.
