Praful Karochi and his wife, Ashiwni, are proud of their 20-year association with India’s oldest private airline – Jet Airways. Outside their marriage, however, they are disgruntled employees of a defunct airline.
For Praful, a senior cabin crew with Jet Airways, wearing his uniform: pining the gold-plated wing badge with pride and hanging his ID over the white shirt, fills him with nostalgia.
He knows he cannot fly after Jet shut down its operations over a month ago, but he is getting dressed to visit the Mumbai international airport where some of his colleagues still show up, in the hopes that things would turn around.
Thousands like Praful were rendered jobless overnight after India’s popular airline shut shop for want of funds.
Their lives have turned upside down.
Ashiwni and Praful have been busy trying to make ends meet. With no earning member in the family, the couple along with their 4-year-old daughter had to shift out of their high-rise apartment in Andheri to a chawl in the neighbourhood as they couldn't afford the rent anymore.
