AI resumes pilot recruitment process

Mumbai: National carrier Air India has put the selection process for 40 pilots back on track after having put it on hold for more than a year following charges of favouritism.
While plans were afoot last year to hire 90 pilots, 40 commercial pilot licence (CPL) holders have so far successfully completed 90 per cent of the selection process.
Their final selection, however, was put on hold, following charges of nepotism, sources close to the development said, adding that now the vigilance department has cleared the process which has since been restarted.
“We are hiring around 90 pilots. Currently, they are undergoing mandatory medical tests. Once the process is completed, they will be put on the training,” they said.
