Sorry, didn't understand. You're saying two unions are necessary for a single airline? I think having two separate unions is just moronic as the battle between IC/AI just gets prolonged. Bust both of them, put in place a common Ops policy based on type rating and seniority and allow only one union

By the way, rulebooks also say it is illegal to sleep under bridges.
Is there any way of finding out who the plaintiffs are? Is there any way one can join as fellow complainant?

9W, IT, and AI have all been delaying wage payments to pilots, cabin crew, ground staff, etc.

Dreamliner not being named ?

The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner that joined the AI fleet was the carrier's first in 64 years to not get a name.

The aircraft will be named in the next month or 2. Just standard bureaucratic delays and unpreparedness

Salaries are coming in.
If you say salary and if you mean 20% of monthly average pay and if you mean atleast 3 months late, then yes salaries are coming in.
Flying allowances are due for flying done since April.
PLi comes with flying allowances, and that I believe as per media reports have been abolished since July.
Layover allowance are also due dice may. So bottom line is, it's pretty messed up.
On another note, apparently the 787 is in Bombay today. Landed around 11. Not a revenue flight for sure, however I am certain there were loads of people on it taking a joy ride.
