A day after Jet Airways chief, Naresh Goyal, stepped down from his position as Chairman, pilots have written to State Bank of India Chairman, Rajnish Kumar, requesting him for a meeting to give clarity on the salary dues.
The pilots have asked Kumar to help alleviate some of the hardships that they have been facing 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 (NAG,) held an Annual General Meeting last week and decided to stop flying on from April 1 due to non-payment of salaries for the past three months.
In its letter to the Labour Ministry, NAG flagged off that 87.5 per cent of the December 2018 salary along with 100 per cent salaries of January and February 2019 are pending.
