Low-cost carrier Go First, which has filed for insolvency, is trying to retain its pilots with a monthly allowance, as it tries to put in place a plan to restart operations. The airline has offered to raise monthly salaries of captains by Rs 1 lakh and that of first officers by Rs 50,000.
Currently, the monthly average salary of captains is Rs 5.3 lakh.
On Monday, senior executives of the airline reportedly discussed its revival plans with officials of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
