Jet Airways wants to 'forgive and forget'

Calling the agreement between the Jet Airways management and the striking pilots as an 'amicable' one, the management on Sunday (September 13) said that all pilots will report back on duty with immediate effect and it is now time to forget, forgive what transpired in the past five day. Meanwhile, the management confirmed that all efforts to restore normalcy was on after Jet Airways pilots called off their five-day long stir, with the management reinstating the four sacked pilots.
While addressing the media in Mumbai, Jet's Executive Director Saroj Dutta said, "We are pleased to convey that an amicable agreement has arrived at between the management and the pilots. All flights (domestic and international) will operate on full schedule, with the full strength of pilots reporting to work. We convey our deepest apologies to the airline's customers, who have suffered a lot since September 8. We would also like to thank the government, the civil aviation ministry, labour ministry and the DGCA for their support."
"The management and representative of the pilots have discussed the issues. The pilots were anxious that an agreement be arrived at so that this undesirable situation would be brought to an end. At the meeting we addressed and discussed the issue of primary concern, which was the lack of a system that could bring the management and pilots together in one platform. The management has come up with a consultative body which will include two directors, two representative from flight operations from the management side and five representatives from the pilots side. The body will identify the issues faced and bring it up to the consultative body, where they will work together to ensure issues get resolved," added Dutta.
