The National Aviators Guild (NAG) the outfit representing pilots of Jet Airways, is planning a ‘black band’ protest from March 1.
According to a directive issued to its members, the NAG has asked them to send their March roster to their respective team leaders by February 27. The pilots’ body in a statement also said that the recent scenario has ‘forced’ (them) to take some simple measures to alleviate the huge levels of stress. Jet Airways has some 1800 pilots of which about 1600 pilots are associated with NAG. As a part of the protest, pilots associated with NAG will not accept extra flight duties beyond their roster.
