Dear guys
The sequence for axing will be as follows:
1. Expat FO.
2. Indian FO with FATA expiring soon.
3,Trainees at any stage to freeze upgrades and indirectly Salary.
3. Expat Line Captain Subject to sufficient Indian Captains.
4. Just converted captain with option to move to other fleet viz 777 to ATR etc.
5, older Indian Captains Reduce the retirement age back to 60 (as the reason for extension no longer exists).
6. Surplus crew on the basis of Last in first out, to fit the existing strength of aircraft.
But being political in nature
1. Retirement age will NOT reduce,
2. Influential guys will NOT move back to fleets
But unfortunately EXPATS will be axed. not realising if and when required, they may not come again.
3. Prime Minister has requested industry not to lay off.
Hence:
SALARY CUT ONLY FOR PILOTS
