Jet management warns we'll hire expats, retired pilots

Jet management warns we'll hire expats, retired pilots
New Delhi: On day two of the Jet Airways pilots' strike, the pilots seem to have blinked first, with the president of their association flying down to Delhi from Mumbai to meet Naresh Goyal.

The leader of the striking pilots Girish Kaushik said as he left Mumbai that he would be meeting Goyal for an "amicable and legal settlement."

Some of the striking pilots are worried as this is a bad time for the industry. Pilots are losing jobs and there are at the moment hundreds of unemployed pilots.

There are also retired pilots, foreign and expat pilots that Jet Airways is contacting. So that if it cannot break the strike, it will employ these people.

The Jet Airways assessment is that it can't be blackmailed.
