New Delhi: Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA) has tweaked its hiring norms after flight operations inspectors
(FOIs) threatened to resign over transfers. Civil aviation ministry
officials said that the FOIs who have already been hired will continue
to stay in Delhi, and in future, the location of posting would be
clearly mentioned.
So far, FOIs were only verbally assured that they would be stationed in Delhi. As the DGCA began to found it difficult to recruit more flight inspectors in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, it transferred some existing inspectors from Delhi. This resulted in 12 inspectors resigning, and another 20 threatening to resign. After this large exodus the DGCA has finally stopped the transfers.
“All the flight inspectors have withdrawn their resignations and have been reinstated,” said a ministry official. This comes as a relief to the DGCA, which has been struggling to fill the remaining 23 vacancies for flight inspectors. The DGCA had a total of 75 vacancies.
“The remaining vacancies — the flight inspectors will either be stationed in cities other than Delhi, or will shuttle between Delhi and other cities. We will tell them about this condition while we hire them,” officials said.
