New Delhi: Taking a tough stance to ensure discipline, Air India has
sacked 47 members of its cabin crew and issued show-cause notices to 20
more on grounds of absenteeism.
While all of those sacked are stationed in Mumbai, 17 of those issued the notices for not showing up for three months without any intimation also belong to the western metropolis and the rest from Delhi, senior airline officials said.
However, those issued show-cause notices could re-join duty by June 30 after fulfilling necessary requirements and getting certified for sickness, if any, from Air India doctors, the officials said, adding that such disciplinary action taken on a regular basis has now become a deterrent for a total cabin crew strength of about 3,500.
The decision of AI to crack the whip comes amid reports that several cabin crew members were on the lookout for greener pastures, especially eyeing jobs in Gulf carriers.
