New Delhi: In spite of a high-power internal committee holding former Director of Operations of Air India Capt M.K. Hathi guilty of ad-hocism in appointments and giving a go by to the overarching DGCA’s Civil Aviation Rules (CAR), the carrier’s CMD V. Thulasidas has appointed him Executive Director, Air Safety.
The office order of August 16, taking immediate effect, also enjoins Captain Hathi to oversee training requirements to ensure safety standards, coordinating activities involved with quality management system for maintaining the IOSA rating, holding wage negotiations with trained personnel like pilots, flight dispatchers, instructional personnel and Operations Department and any other functions that may be assigned by the CMD.
The bringing back of a person, who had been moved out as Director Operations, through the back door has raised many an eyebrow in Air India and aviation circles.
