NAG urges PM to ask SBI to release one month's salary to Jet staff

NAG urges PM to ask SBI to release one month's salary to Jet staff

New Delhi, Apr 28 (UNI) Urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in Jet Airways crisis and alleged conspiracy of Etihad and the Public sector lender SBI in decimating the country's largest air carrier, the National Aviator's Guild (NAG), which represents pilots of the grounded airline has requested him to direct the lender to release a month's salary to employees on urgent and humane basis.
In an email that was mailed to the prime minister on Saturday night, National Aviator's Guild (NAG) President Capt Karan Chopra requested, "... direct SBI to release a month’s salary to all employees on an urgent and humane basis. We do not want to see a repeat of the human tragedy which unfolded post the demise of King Fisher."
In 2012, thousands of Kingfisher employees lost over eight months' salary after the airline went bust.
The guild has also urged for preserving and maintaining the slots of Jet Airways at domestic airports across India till such time complete facts emerge. We are afraid that after three months these will be permanently handed over to the competition.
It also urged to expedite the binding bid date to preserve the enterprise value of Jet Airways.
The carrier shut down its operations in the wake of the SBI-led consortium of lenders rejected its demand of a Rs 983-crore lifeline to help carry out operations and pay salaries.
