Amid ongoing protests over pay revision, at least 15 senior first officers have resigned from Vistara. The Tata Group-owned airline, currently merging with Air India, introduced new contracts aligning pilot pay with Air India's standards, sparking discontent. Crew shortages led to significant flight cancellations, prompting DGCA's directive for daily reports on disruptions. Vistara faces disruptions with 60-70 flights affected daily, mainly due to crew unavailability. The airline, operating over 300 daily flights, admitted to numerous disruptions and announced measures to mitigate them, including a temporary reduction in flight operations and deployment of larger aircraft.
