Goyal assures job for all Air Sahara staff
Mumbai:
Jet Airways Chairman Naresh Goyal has assured that no Air Sahara employee
would lose job after its acquisition as there was already employee shortage
especially that of pilots in Jet Airways. Talking to reporters, Goyal
said, "I need people and I can absorb them." He said that all the employees
of Air Sahara would be absorbed in the new entity on merit basis. He said
that the deal would help Jet Airways in minimising employee shortage,
especially that of pilots. According to sources Jet Airways is planning
to more than double its existing strength of 550 pilots by 2008. Currently
the company has a pilot shortage of around 10 percent. After announcement
of acquisition of Air Sahara by Jet Airways on January 18, employees of
Air Sahara especially pilots had gone on mass leave expressing fear that
they might lose job or their cadres and emoluments would be affected.
