A pilot said we couldn’t work without getting salary from such a long time. Though, the decision we took. Airline employees’ decision to go on worry coincides with the parliament’s monsoon session, which starts today. We hoping that the strike will grab the attention towards the Parliament and out misery and plight echoes in political corridors, employees said.
