Pilots of embattled JetAirways have accused senior SpiceJet executive of humiliating them at during a recent recruitment drive in Mumbai earlier this week.
According to pilots, SpiceJet official allegedly told some Jet pilots that they were doing a "charity" by hiring them, according to sources. Over 1,300 pilots are on the street after Jet Airways announced halting of operations on April 17, endangering the jobs of over 20,000 employees.
The pilots union of the grounded Jet Airways has expressed shock over the incident, "We are deeply disappointed and shocked at the treatment meted out to our members who have interacted with the top management of SpiceJet recently," the National Aviators Guild said in a statement on Thursday.
"If true, we strongly condemn such unprofessional behaviour as it was humiliating and deeply disturbing for our colleagues," the guild said.
SpiceJet, however, denied the allegations as "completely false and distorted," and said its team was in the city Tuesday to hire pilots and not to run them down.
The SpiceJet official also allegedly told Jet pilots that his carrier was losing huge money by hiring them as first officers as if they recruited fresher pilots, they would have got Rs 25 lakh per pilot besides a bond for Rs 25 lakh as well, the source said.
