"There is no question of sacking;employees will be protected," Patel said. Patel, however, said it was time for everyone -- management and staff -- to introspect.
"It is a tough time and we have to cooperate..we will have to go through financial and organisational restructuring to bring back the airlines on a healthy track," Patel said.
He was speaking to reporters on his way to Chennai airport, where he had gone to inaugurate a desalination plant by Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited and also the Manali-Chennai Aviation Turbine Fuel Pipeline by Indian Oil Corporation.
On wage restructuring, a decision on which is pending, Patel said "we have sat and agreed on a formula for wages to be paid in a particular fashion," but did not elaborate.
On the two-hour walkout by Air India employees on Friday, which the management had declared illegal, to protest delayed payment in June salary, he said it was a token strike and flight operations were not affected.

Every Indian who travel abroad on his/her national airline know how much of mismanagement takes place in the organisation. There are employees in AI who do nothing productive for the carrier. We as a nation must stop this blanket bail out and privatise this setup so that it can become productive once again and be proud of our nation. Jet airways is perhaps one of the best airlines in the world by any standard and this is purely due to hard work an having work ethics. Babus must stop using AI for free for their tours in the name of meetings and courses. Pay from your pocket and travel like the general public.
sack the inefficient AI staff and their union leaders and get rid of IAS chaps sittion on AI Bpard then you can turn around AI or else sell it lock stock and barrel to Ambani Brothers.
Now that is the true Psudeo socialism and such ministers should also be fired. country is suffering because of overloaded ungrateful,arrogant and rude staff and than minister backs them to continue the mahem.India has no working ethics and PSU are overloaded with staff.From any standrd the ration per aircraft is double than world standard and there is no productvity and yet the Minsiter wants to keep this overloaded non cooperative and non performing staff.Bleed the nation with these such unions and staff and India wna ts to be an industrial nation. What a joke?
