Jet Airways management in talks with airlines to place its staffers

Mumbai: The management of troubled carrier Jet Airways is in talks with more than 15 companies including rival carriers to facilitate alternative employment for its distressed staff even as the grounded airline struggles to find an investor, critical to its survival.
Meanwhile, three executives at its top management team have resigned and two others have gone on leave, said a person in the know.
Jet’s chief people officer, Rahul Taneja, has been in talks with his peers at Vistara and SpiceJet as well as e-commerce companies such as Amazon trying to get them to hire Jet employees, especially those employed as cabin crew. The HR team at Jet is drawing up a database of employee profiles and sharing them with prospective companies, said several persons in the know. Jet has more than 18,000 employees.
Vistara is hiring about 400 cabin crew and 100 Boeing pilots as it looks to lease 10 planes deregistered from Jet’s fleet due to non-payment of lease rentals.
SpiceJet has hired 1,000 and is looking for more as it looks to lease 40 planes.
Air India is hiring about 250 pilots and crew. An Amazon spokesperson didn’t respond to queries before the story went to press.
