Vistara, facing operational challenges, plans to onboard Air India first officers to alleviate its pilot crisis. However, due to mandatory training protocols, resolution may be delayed. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation mandates a 40-day training for these officers, including simulator and line training. Despite both airlines belonging to the Tata Group, formal training processes must be adhered to. Air India itself faces a shortage of first officers, complicating the situation. Vistara recently announced scaling back operations to mitigate pressure on pilots. Challenges persist as pilot discontent over revised contracts persists amidst the merger with Air India.
