Distressed employees of the grounded Jet Airways may take heart in the fact that rival airlines are hiring in a big way.
While low-cost carrier Spicejet has hired 500 employees of Jet Airways as part of its plans to induct more aircraft in its fleet soon, Air India has short-listed 150 cabin crew employees.
Jet Airways has approximately 22,000 employees.
The airline’s announcement of suspension of operations till further notice left the employees in a quandary.
“As we expand and grow, we are giving first preference to those who have recently lost their jobs due to the unfortunate closure of Jet Airways,” said Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, Spicejet.
