Cabin crew skips work, but Air India says no flight hit

MUMBAI: About 600 Air India flight attendants based in Mumbai refused duty on Friday and the impact was felt on the airline\'s international flight schedules, said an Air India cabin crew member. For the last three days, a section of the airline\'s cabin crew has been off duty in protest against delay in payment of sustenance allowance.



The Air India spokesperson though denied that the protest had affected flights. \"There were no delays or disruption of flights,\'\' the spokesperson said. Late in the evening, the protesting group sent a mail to the airline chairman saying that they will rejoin duty if the airline foots the bills for their meals when they are stationed abroad. \"We are willing to cooperate provided we were allowed to sign for all our meals and ancillaries at all outstations gratis till the company is in position to pay our dues,\'\' said the letter.
