Pilot-trouble hits Jet Airways again

New Delhi: Trouble is brewing again in private carrier Jet Airways as some of its subsidiary airline JetLite’s pilots have quit, serving notices to the management alleging change in service conditions.

JetLite, originally Air Sahara, was acquired by Jet Airways promoter Naresh Goyal in 2007 and operated as budget arm till November last year. But in December, the two carriers were integrated into one to operate under a single full-service brand.

These pilots have demanded they be relieved from the job immediately as the six-month mandatory notice period was no longer applicable on them, sources said.

According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation norms, a pilot has to serve his employer for six months after putting in the papers.
