To ensure an adequate number of pilots for its expanding fleet size,
Tata Group-owned Air India (AI) has decided to raise their retirement
age from 58 to 65.
Considering future expansion plans
for our fleet, it is imperative to meet our workforce requirement for
pilots. DGCA ((Directorate General of Civil Aviation) allows pilots to
fly till the age of 65 years, compared to Air India retirement age of 58
years. Allowing pilots to fly till the age of 65 is a practice followed
by most airlines in the industry, said the airline's internal document
issued on July 29.
"To meet our requirement, it is proposed to
retain our current trained pilots at Air India post-retirement on a
contractual basis for 5 years extendable to 65 years," said S.D.
Tripathi, AI's chief human resource officer (CHRO) in the document.
According
to AI's new policy, a panel comprising functional representatives of HR
and operations & flight safety will be constituted to examine the
eligibility of pilots retiring in the next two years. The panel will be
responsible for reviewing the past records of the pilots with respect to
discipline, flight safety and vigilance. Post the review, the committee
will recommend shortlisted names to the CHRO for issuing them
post-retirement contract.
As per the airline's policy,
post-retirement contract will include a clause for annual review of the
contract basis performance, conduct and flight safety record. On
completion of five years of satisfactory service, a comprehensive
examination of their performance will be considered for further
extension till 65 years. This will be reviewed by the constituted
committee, said the document.
