Jet Airways pilots not to protest before meeting management next week


New Delhi: With Jet Airways giving final touches to a stake sale deal with Etihad, pilots of the Indian airline met here today over delay in payment of salary arrears but decided not to proceed with any protest before meeting the management next week.
At a four-hour meeting, about a hundred pilots of the premier private carrier decided to meet again in Mumbai on Thursday, after a meeting with the management scheduled on Tuesday, sources at the meeting said.
The pilots do not want their salary arrears of 2011, running into over Rs 10 crore, to go on accumulating like that of grounded Kingfisher Airlines, but wanted to see what the management's response would be, the sources said.
