Jet Airways engineers on 'go-slow' mode, force flight cancellations


Mumbai: Even as its senior executives are reported to be in Abu Dhabi to further negotiate with Etihad on the proposed stake sale to the Gulf carrier, Jet Airways engineers are on a "go-slow" mode following the failure of talks over wage hike and arrears, sources said.
Following this, the airline had to cancel two flights from Chennai to Madurai and Coimbatore, they said.
The engineers' move comes weeks after a section of the airline's technicians registered their protest on the same issue by sporting black bands.
"A section of engineers are on a go-slow mode as their negotiations with the management on wage hike and arrears failed," Jet Airways sources told PTI here.
