New Delhi: Air India may reinstate 15 of the 17 cabin crew it had dismissed in three weeks for coming late, thereby causing flight delays.
"We have got an unconditional apology from 15 of the 17 dismissed. They have said they had been misled by the union and have agreed to follow all guidelines. We are considering taking them back," said an official.
Of the 17, 13 are permanent staff members.
The All India Cabin Crew Association (AICCA), however, denied any apology letter sent. It said it was still waiting for a hearing by the Central Government Industrial Tribunal in Mumbai.
Air India had said indiscipline would not be tolerated and was prepared to face any legal issues for firing permanent employees. It added improving its performance parameters was the priority.
The airline had issued a notice on February 20 warning cabin crew if they didn't reach airports on time, action would be taken.
