Naresh Goyal's Jet Airways plans to merge its Low Cost Carrier (LCC)
Jetlite with its flagship carrier. According to company sources, the
management will soon induct pilots from Jetlite to the parent company
Jet Airways.
"Nearly 230 pilots will be shifted from Jetlite to Jet Airways. This is a point of concern for us because it may lead to drastic changes in our salary structures as well as our seniority," said a senior pilot who requested anonymity.
He further revealed, "Cramer Ball, CEO of Jet Airways, will be meeting with the company pilots on 9 September to discuss the future plans of the airline with us. Basically, they want to explain their decision to ensure a smoother transition".
Other sources told BI India that the management took the decision to transfer pilots from its LCC to Full Cost Carrier (FCC) because they want to operate as a single brand. "The management didn't want any confusion regarding their brand. They just want to be known as Jet Airways and not differentiated as FCC and LCC," disclosed a senior official.
