Air India pilots called off their five-day strike after the civil aviation ministry assured that there would be no salary cuts.

According to Livemint.com, about 200 Air India pilots had reported ”sick” since September 26 in protest against a 50% cut in their productivity-linked incentives and payment of their due flying allowance of three months.

After over 240 flights have been cancelled, pilots return to work.

Some Twitter users are relieved that the strike is now over:
