2-month notice period for airline staff

Mumbai: Engineers leaving an airline will now have to serve a two-month notice period and secure a no objection certificate from the current employer.
Top representatives of domestic airlines have signed a preliminary agreement for a two-month notice period for engineers and technical staff. According to sources, a meeting of the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) on Tuesday took a final decision in this regard, and will communicate it to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). “The notice serving period for engineers will be two months initially and later be increased to six months as in the case of pilots,” they said.
The DGCA had earlier brought in a regulation whereby a pilot has to give a mandatory six-month notice to his employer before resigning.
