Pilots' reason for strike: Loose motions, not at home

New Delhi: Several Air India pilots submitted medical certificates to the Air India management even as their strike entered the eighth day on Tuesday, leading to 24 flights being cancelled.

Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said that the pilots were making false claims of being sick and not reporting for duty.

An Air India team visited the homes of the striking pilots and prepared a medical summary of the Delhi base crew that reported sick. CNN-IBN accessed the document, most of the pilots have cited loose motions as the reason, while some have not not been found at home and a few have given the wrong address.
