The proposed strike by pilots and engineers of the cash-strapped Jet Airways was deferred at the last minute today in view of a meeting today between the airline management and the State Bank of India, the National Aviators Guild -- the Union for Jet Airways' pilots -- said. The two sides have been discussing a Rs.1,500-crore loan since last month as part of a rescue deal. Though the loan has been approved, the funds are yet to be released.
