3-month notice must for cabin crew to quit?

New Delhi: Aviation regulator Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has proposed new draft rules that will make it mandatory for cabin crew to give a minimum notice period of three months to the airlines which employ them before they (cabin crew) quit their jobs. The DGCA has proposed that if this is not done, then the concerned persons may not be able to work as cabin crew for a minimum period of two years.
The DGCA has proposed this after concluding that cabin crew have been resigning suddenly resulting in cancellation of flights at the last minute causing inconvenience and harassment to passengers. The DGCA, in its proposed draft rules, has observed that if cabin crew resign without giving three-months of notice and if this results in sudden cancellation of flights, then it would be treated “as an act against public interest”.
