Last week, the National Aviators Guild (NAG) had said the carrier is treating Indian pilots in a cold-blooded manner compared to their expat counterparts.
NAG has also asked its members not to fly with the expats in the cockpit after one of the foreign pilots allegedly assaulted a trainer in Bengaluru recently.
In response to NAG’s allegations, the airline last week said it has a strict and common code for employees.
