It is an eye opener to those who clamour for privatization of all Govt.firms at the drop of a hat.To handle such situations you require backbone of steel.
Make Pilot training Cheaper and recruitment of pilots more transparent.The solutions lie here too.

Understand the cost structure
by Indian on Sep 15, 2009 02:45 PM

For a successful working of airline pilots and other staffs are pillars .Hence, they should be paid a good salary . Therefore, it is beter for a industry to prepare a standard cost structure so, that they can have a more or less uniform salry structure and perks. Rationalization of cost , justfication of airline fare for customer is must .

Its a really a big unfolded secret why some are providing cost effectie service other dont

Bad precedent
by Test on Sep 15, 2009 01:40 PM  | Hide replies

Jet should have grounded half its fleet, and taught these Unionized Highly paid pilots a Lesson.

A Bad Precedent is being set. Very soon Indian Railways will go on a Strike. Next Air India, Next Banks, Next Bureaucrats..

Firangi pilots should all be sent back. Reduce number of flights till ourown brood is large enough to take over. Trains can do their job till that time.

Reduce number of flights and black list these pilots. No airline should employ them. In case any airlinew employs these selfish pilots, the airline should be boycotted by all of us.

All these pilots were performing their duties till the time they were sacked ( for asking for their right).So,just do your duties,never ask for your rights.Is that what you want to say ?

Pilots blackmailed Goyal
by rajeev srivastava on Sep 15, 2009 01:06 PM  | Hide replies

My sympathies are towards Mr. Goyal.
It is his entrepreneurship that so many people have got the job.Any tom,dick and harry do not have guts to run the show.It needs a lot of imagination and skill to run a company.
Pilots and other airline staff who get a hefty salary have no right to go on strike.
Ina country where an average Indian earns only 100/- Rs. a day,these people who earn lakhs have no right to go on strike which ultimately resulted in loss to the company and inconvenience to the guest the term used by air staff for customers.
Loss occured must be debited from the salaries of pilots and they should be kicked once alternate staff is available.

So why did Naresh Goyal threatend that one day strike along with KF Mallaya? Was he not fleecing passengers during the boom? The pilots just took a cue out of him.

Wrong use of the wword 'guest'. I dont ask my guests to pay up while I do ask my customers to pay. May be Jet does not asks people for fare!! Pl correct me if I am wrong.

FAT PAY TAKERS (PILOTS) are ROOT CAUSE of AIRLINE ILLS
by RedIndian Cowboy on Sep 15, 2009 12:56 PM  | Hide replies


.Why PILOTS are PAID such ASTRONOMICAL SALARY?

..TO IMPROVE PROFITABILITY

1. Induct NEW PILOTS with 50% LESS SALARY.

2. RECRUITMENT should be CONTRACT BASIS for 1 YEAR (NO PERMANENT RECRUITMENT).

3. GRADUALLY WEED OUT within 1 YEAR FAT PAY TAKERS (PILOTS) on DISCIPLINARY GROUND.

..If YOU DONOT KNOW HOW TO THROW OUT AN EMPLOYEE on DISCIPLINARY GROUND

"i will tell you"

Forming a union is legal as per the law of the land. Why should they be punished?
In case you are pissed off on account of the pilot's salary then please find out how much are the management earning and how much moolah Mr Goyal is taking home?
Just for info, I am not a civil pilot in Jet or in any other airlines.

My dear, Afzal, its not a question of what is legal. Law allows you to many things. and disaallows many others. The Unions in modern India have been a menace. A set of weeds eating up the roots of real good crop. This is the flip slide of democracy. A way needsto be found to get rid of these.

Question is not how much pilots gets paid,or how much Mr. Goel gets paid.Question is every staff anywhere in the world has a right to form a union.Even in US,Mecca of capitalism they can deny this right.Show me a country where forming union is not allowed.(other than midlle east countries).You cannot sack your staff for claiming this right.

India need to learn from China on implementing the Labour laws properly. Our Indian laws are totally mess and useless; not even a single law can be easily understood by a common citizen. Total mess Confusion = Indian Constitution & Laws. Our Indian laws are only good enough to protect the Wealthy guys, industrialists, billionaires and Politicians. If a politician or an Industrialist borrow multi million rupees from the Bank and run away without any punishment; if a poor farmer borrow a loan of 100,000Rs from bank and unable to repay due to draught, laws will be very strict on that farmer and finally he will kill himself. This is the Truth and Reality of Indian Constitution/laws.

Jet - A Let down !!
by Count Meout on Sep 15, 2009 12:52 PM  | Hide replies

For all the hype, Jet Airways was a big disappointment. Clearly, its quality of service has gone way way down. The upkeep of aircraft interiors - which is one of clear indicators of quality was shoddy. The service quality was less than average - specially on a flight from Singapore to Chennai. So, the signs of an Indian PSU is written all over. Its only a matter of time, that Jet sinks low. Too bad. Perhaps, it is to do with water in India that we can never achieve 'World Class' in anything we do.

well said. None of the airlines in India could match atleast 25% of the quality services provided by Singapore Airlines. Singapore airlines was started in last 50s and now its one of the leading airlines in the world with top class quality service having more than 100 aircrafts and so many routes. None of the airlines company in India could even dream of matching Singapore airlines. Airlines companies in India should learn the basic Quality of "Service with Smile" from Singapore airlines or Cathay Pacific airways.
