After Jet Airways announced its last flight on April 17, several employees from the airline have staged a protest in New Delhi and Mumbai slamming the management for leaving its employees in helpless situations. Jet Airways suspended its flight operations as it failed to secure interim funding from its lender to maintain the necessary services.
The images of employees getting emotional have gone viral on social media and these pictures will break your heart. We can see how they are consoling each other during the protest. Some have held placards that read ‘Save Jet Airways’. In fact, employees’ family members have joined the protest too in order to share the ordeal.
Many got emotional during the rally and appealed the government to save their airline. One of the employees interacted with the media and said that he joined Jet Airways 13 years ago. The lifestyle he was habituated all these years is what he always dreamt of. A cab to pick up and drop, taking lakhs of salary, and accommodation in star hotels in London and Amsterdam during duty time.
One employee said that their friends, who work for other domestic carriers used to get jealous over Jet Airways’ facilities and lifestyle. Nearly 16,500 employees now have to go with salaries. Apart from senior management and pilots, many haven’t received a salary since last month.
