Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said that notice period and an employment bond for pilots is justified only when an airline has invested in training those pilots in a specific aircraft type. “I think if an airline is investing in training people, then it's quite common practice that there is some sort of bond with the organization and if someone leaves before the agreed period, there is a compensatory mechanism for the airline that has invested. This is quite different when the pilot has been already trained by someone else and you pick up because you have a desperate need because you have not prepared or invested in increasing capability,” Wilson said when asked if there should be a notice period for pilots. Wilson’s comment comes in backdrop of Akasa Air filing cases against Boeing 737 pilots which it said resigned without serving notice period of six months.
