The deadlock between the agitating pilots and the management of the Jet airways continues for the fifth day, after the talks held on Friday in Delhi to resolve the issue remained indecisive.
According to the reports available from the television channels, another set of discussion will be held in Mumbai today.
The pilots and the management of the Jet Airways had met in New Delhi before the Chief Labour Commissioner for resolving the issue, which had posed severe inconveniences to more than 30,000 passengers in the past four days.
Besides Chief Labour Commissioner S K Upadhyay, the other persons who were part of the discussion, which happened on Friday in New Delhi included Jet’s executive director Saroj Dutta, CEO Hafiz Ali and head of operation Captain Mohan.
Captain Girish Kaushik and Captain Sam Thomas represented the National Aviators Guild. They have disclosed that the pilots do not have any intention to resume duty unless their colleagues are restored. According to them, two pilots were sacked by the management of Jet Airways for allegedly creating the National Aviators Guild, following which the pilots went on mass ‘sick’ leave as a means of protesting.
The four-day strike has led to the cancellation of nearly 700 flights, costing hardships to over 30,000 passengers.
