Air India delays payment of salary for the current month

Air India looks like in monetary troubles as the airline company has announced that they are delaying the salary payments for the current month.

The delay is by around 15 months and it is going to cause much hassles for their workers.

Air India said: “The June salary normally due at the end of the month would be paid on July 15 due to liquidity crunch.”

The aviation market in India has been struggling due to the weakening economy. Fluctuating aviation fuel prices also does not help the cause.

    Everbody is talking about losses suffered by Air India or Indian Airlines. No one is looking at the root cause of these losses. The whole credit of this goes to our so called “HON’BLE” Minister of Civil Aviation who has literly sold the Airline (specially Indian Airlines) for his vested interests. There are so many things to be looked into:-
    1. Orders of new aircrafts given to two companies, i.e. BOEING & AIRBUS-WHY? Just to take commission from both the Companies, i.e. BOEING & AIRBUS.
    2. Brand name of Indian Airlines changed to INDIAN when he very much knew that the proposal for merger of erstwhile Air India and erstwhile Indian Airlines was under scrutiny of Cabinet/Parliamentary Committee-WHY? Around 150-200 Crores were spent on the advertising for new brand and all the existing aircrafts were repainted with changed brand name and logo-The whole assignment was given to a Company which is run by Shri Prafful Patel’s FATHER IN LAW.
    3. Erstwhile Indian Airlines was doing pretty good and trying its hard to overcome losses. But it has been merged with Air India who were really in bad condition and sinking day by day-WHY? Mr. Patel was sure that with the concerted efforts being made by erstwhile Indian Airlines, it will definitely capture its old position of “MARKET LEADER” and a few Airlines, which are being run at his mercy (Policies being formed during his tenure to give benefits to these Private Airlines), such as KINGFISHER or JET AIRWAYS will be closed soon. But still he merged both the Airlines at this crucial time when both the airlines were trying for their survival in this changed civil aviation scenario and tough competition.
    4. WHY Mr. Patel made a statement in the year 2006-07 about BOOMING CIVIL AVIATION INDUSTRY IN INDIA and need of arouund 5000 Pilots and 20000 Cabin Crew in INDIA in the coming Time? He has taken a lot of money from Institutes who impart training for Pilot Course and Cabin Crew. After the statement of Minister, many of of Middle Class Families have sent their children to acquire Pilot Licence from abroad after spending 14-20 lakhs rupees, being taken loan on high interest from the banks but when these children have taken the licence there is no job for them. There are an estmated of 4000 candidates with Pilot’s licence are sitting idle at home without job. Their families are repaying the loan amount with great difficulty and cursing Minister for this shameful and sinful act of misguiding AAM PUBLIC by making false, fabricated and unthought statement. The Minister has really no right to play with the career and future of 4000 candidates and also ruined these families. I really dont understand why the Congress Supreme Leaders like Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Rahul Gandhi and dr. Manmohan Singh have closed their eyes and quitely endorsing the shameful and sinful act of this Minister who had decided from the first day of his Ministryship to ruin Indian Airlines where our former Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi has also worked. All people are requested to kindly favour their comments in this regard so that we can make Mrs. Gandhi, Mr. Gandhi & Dr. Singh to open their eyes and intervene to survive the pride of our National Carrier.

    BLAME GAME NAMED- AIR INDIA

    Since May 2009, the only COMPANY that hits all newspapers for a wrong reasons (obviously) is “AIR INDIA”.
    All blogs are flooded with comments from different
    people regarding the fate of AIR INDIA.
    Before deciding the fate or passing any comments please
    go through these points and think :-

    1.In 1989, a new state of the art Airbus crashed for pilot’s fault but the then Civil Aviation Minister Mr Arif Mohammed Khan and Prime Minister V.P.Singh gave order and grounded all AIRBUSes for 9 months which cost more than 200 crores.

    2.All ministers and Govt officials always fly by AirIndia and crores of rupees are yet to be recovered for many reasons.

    3.Just for serving social cause, Indian airlines the part of AirIndia and erstwhile Air India lost and still loosing crores of rupees per month. Why? AirIndia operate many sectors which are loss making since inception like CALCUTTA-AGRTALA, CALCUTTA-PORTBLAIR and all North East sectors .

    4.The total cost of the Airlines HAJ operation in 2008(only 1 year) is 847 crores .Think of it?

    5.When Jet to Kingfisher all cancelled,deferred or delayed New Aircraft purchase only exception AIR INDIA. 44000 crores of rupees for whose whims? Can any insolvent person try to buy Mercedees which only aggrevate the situation.

    Friends, before passing any comments or sadistic pleasure kindly apply your thought accordingly.
    Awaiting for your ………….
