Unpaid for months, Jet pilots ‘seek’ nod to go on leave

MUMBAI: Several pilots at Jet AirwaysNSE -0.15 %, where lenders are busy putting together a revival plan involving likely ownership change, have sought to go on leave from April 1 to highlight four months of salary arrears.

In individually signed letters addressing the airline’s CEO Vinay Dube, these pilots have said that they would want to go on leave from the beginning of the new financial year. The letters, written in the first person, have the same content. ET has seen a copy of the letter that, sources said, was drafted only around 5 pm on Friday.
