Jet, Kingfisher staff scout for work
With Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines struggling to combat the rising costs, employees of both airlines have begun scouting for jobs in competing, low-cost airlines such as SpiceJet and GoAir.
“We have started sending our resumes to the low cost carriers as our take-home salaries will be almost at par with low cost carriers once Jet’s plan to shift a major portion of our fixed income to the variable component comes into effect in November,” said a ground handling staff member of Jet Airways. Full-fledged airlines currently pay higher salaries compared to the low-cost carriers.
