Jet Airways pilots likely to go on protest
CHENNAI: Pilots of Jet Airways are likely to go on protests following a management decision to shift their entire ATR fleet to JetLite, a sister company struggling hard to survive in the industry. According to sources, pilots and crew of 18 ATR flights have already expressed their agitation as the decision is likely to affect their career as well as their job security.
A senior pilot of Jet Airways said the management has conducted meetings across the country in the last one week revealing the plan. "Anyway it cannot be implemented without the support of pilots flying ATRs. Several questions they have raised about their job security were not answered by the management," he said.
A circular inviting pilots to discuss the transition of ATR fleet from Jet Airways to JetLite was issued last week. During the meetings, the crew raised concerns about contractual obligations between Jet Airways and JetLite, payment of salaries and limited promotion opportunities, and conditions for a reverse absorption in case JetLite fails.
