New Delhi: The new owners of Jet Airways, Murari Lal Jalan and Kalrock Capital consortium, have made it clear that it will not be possible to re-employ all the staff in the revamped firm. However, they assured that they will be meeting employees at the earliest on the issue. "In the coming days, we intend to engage with many of you to ascertain the role you can play in years to come, in our effort to make history, when Jet Airways becomes airborne again. We cannot commit re-employment for each one of you but can surely say that this company belongs to you and right now, it is not in the interest of your airline to onboard everyone," said the consortium in a statement, reviewed by ETV Bharat.
On Tuesday, the All India Jet Airways' Officers and Staff Association wrote a letter to the newly appointed Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and sought his intervention to resolve issues related to their employment under the new owners of the airline. "We are shocked and surprised to notice that complete injustice has been done to the employees of the company in as much that the dues offered is about Rs 52 crores which is a minuscule amount compared to the original claims accepted by the resolution professional," said the letter sent to Civil Aviation minister.
