New Delhi: Eight JetLite pilots have quit to join Jet Airways. Confirming this development a spokesperson of Jet Airways said that these pilots have joined Jet Airways after obtaining a no objection certificate (NOC) from JetLite.
“This is entirely in line with Civil Aviation requirement regulations,” a spokesman for Jet said, adding that the airline offered JetLite pilots a number of options which give them flexibility, expanded career opportunities and growth prospects.
The spokesperson, however, did not get into any details of this. “Joining Jet Airways is optional and voluntary,” the spokesman said. What is irking sections of JetLite pilots is that the eight pilots have been allowed to join Jet Airways within a day of quitting JetLite, while those who want to quit JetLite to join other airlines are being forced to serve out their six month notice periods.
The bone of contention goes back to 2006 when Jet Airways acquired Air Sahara for a consideration of ?2,217 crore. Air Sahara was renamed JetLite and it operated under the brand name JetKonnect.
