Pilots at India's Vistara airline have called in sick to protest the terms of their new contract, which will result in salary cuts. The new contract will come into effect following the carrier's merger with Air India. Despite not signing the new contract, many pilots have already experienced salary reductions. As a result of the strike, Vistara has been forced to cut flights due to cancellations and delays.

Pilots have called in sick to protest the terms of their new contract that will come into effect following the carrier's upcoming merger with Air India . The new structure will cut the salary from about $7,400 (for 70 hours but not always enforced) to $5,200 for a strict 40-hour schedule, a source said. The source, who has been a pilot for Vistara for more than five years, told CNBC that salaries had been cut for many pilots despite them not signing the new contract.
