New Delhi: More than 500 cabin crew members will join Air India every month in the coming months and the airline will soon roll out a new crew rostering project, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said.
In a weekly message to staff on Friday, he said the crew rostering project was about to start rolling out in earnest.
“As the system is put in place, the staff should see earlier roster releases, more consistent rosters, better ‘golden bench’ integrity, and better backup configurations to reduce last-minute call-ups.
“Also, the income would be more equitable if averaged over several months,” he said.
Air India has embarked on an ambitious transformation program under the Tata conglomerate.
“Additionally, with more than 500 new crew members coming on board each month for the next few months, we will be able to resume full crew replenishment and accelerate training,” Wilson said.
Air India Managing Director and CEO also said that the project will revolutionize the way the airline crews are scheduled and introduce the latest technologies and capabilities in the market.
