A day after Jet Airways chief, Naresh Goyal, stepped down from his position as Chairman, pilots have written to the State Bank of India Chairman, Rajnish Kumar, requesting a meeting for clarity on their salary dues.
The pilots have asked Kumar to help them by ensuring that the Jet Airways management does not further delay the release of their pending salaries and clear all dues at the earliest.
The 1,100 pilots, represented by the National Aviators Guild last week decided to stop flying on from April 1 due to non-payment of salaries for the past three months.
The pilots’ body had written a letter to the Ministry of Labour stating that 87.5 per cent of the December 2018 salary and the whole of January and February 2019 salaries were pending.
