Pilot’s case against Jet postponed

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday postponed the hearing in the case filed by captain RPS Panag — one among the many Jet Airways pilots who recently resigned — challenging the Directorate General Civil Aviation (DGCA) of India’s civil aviation requirement (CAR) norm stipulating a six-month notice period.
“There was no judgement today. The next hearing will be on July 1,” said Panag.
The pilot had filed a petition on June 10 against the Union of India, DGCA and Jet Airways seeking interim relief in the form of a No Objection Certificate from Jet to join a new job with another airline.
About 20 Jet Airways' pilots had resigned in April to join Qatar Airways. The confusion over their relieving letter prevailed after the DGCA issued letters to some pilots and Jet Airways saying that the six-month notice period rule couldn’t be enforced if the terms of the employment have been altered or amended.
The pilots allege that the airline has refused to consider the letter and is forcing them to serve the notice period.
