Jet Airways pilots body, the National Aviator’s Guild (NAG), on Sunday deferred its “no flying” call to a later date, particularly when the management is scheduled to meet the lenders on Monday.
Earlier in the day, the Guild, which has around 1,100 pilots as its members, decided to stop flying from April 15 in protest against non-payment of salaries since March.
“It is come to our notice that there is a critical meeting planned tomorrow (Monday) morning with the airline management and SBI.
“In light of the meeting, the members have requested, through their team leaders, that the call of ‘No Pay No Work’ be deferred to give the airline a chance of survival. Accordingly, as requested, the Committee would like to inform all that the decision stands deferred for the time being,” the Guild committee said in a late evening communication to its members.
