    The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) says it has not yet taken a decision to cancel licenses of 11 dismissed officer bearers of the Indian Pilots Guild after over 200 striking pilots refused to return to work. The decision on the dismissal of pilots, as requested by Air India to the DGCA, will be made only on the basis of legal view, CNBC-TV18 has learnt.


    The IPG, whose members have been reporting sick, are protesting the national carrier's move to send pilots from both Air India and erstwhile Indian Airlines in equal numbers to get trained for flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the first of which is likely to be inducted later this month.


    The pilots protesting against rescheduling of Boeing 787 Dreamliner training and matters relating to their career progression have showed no signs of relenting.
