MUMBAI: The harried pilots of Jet Airways, which is on the brink of shuttering operations, have now approached SpiceJet seeking employment.
Jet Airways pilots had earlier been wooed by IndiGo with compensation for their pending salaries and other benefits, leading to murmurs of protests from its own pilots. The largest airline has been facing acute shortage of cockpit crew, leading to cancellation of hundreds of its flights last month.
Jet pilots along with engineers and senior management have not been paid for more than three months now as the airline is facing its worst existential crisis since its inception a quarter of a century ago.
