New Delhi, Aug 6 (TIWN) Air India pilots protesting against 60 per cent wage cut got a boost on Wednesday after the global pilots' body sought the urgent intervention of Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Puri in the matter.

In a letter to Puri, the Indian chapter of Montreal-based International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) said, "It is with utmost concern that we bring to your attention the grave injustice that is being meted out to the Air India pilots via a unilateral and retrospective downward revision of emoluments to the tune of 60 per cent."
