ALPA India Urges Tata Group to Address Pilot Attrition and Safety Concerns at Air India
The Airline Pilots' Association of India (ALPA India) has urged Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata to adopt global best practices for pilot retention at Air India and Air India Express. The association highlighted concerns over pilot attrition driven by stagnant remuneration, reduced benefits, and deteriorating working conditions, emphasizing the safety risks posed by losing experienced pilots. ALPA India also called for stable rosters, fatigue-risk management, and an independent audit of the A321neo simulator following a recent tail strike incident, stressing systemic issues rather than individual errors.
