According to the media, the plan is now to backfill the ranks with 60-80 new expat pilots. Only problem is they pay everyone late, including the expats. It is going to be kind of hard to attract expats when you don't really plan to pay them in a timely manner in the first place.

Pay for August now expected by Sept 15th... if at all. Jet may run out of money before then. At which point they'll probably set up another carrier and restart ops. But don't worry you can take them to court over your pay in the Bombay courts. I'm sure you'll get your money eventually (20 yrs later).

BTW, next time you see a Jet Airways pilot, or hear him/ her on the radio, offer to buy them a beer. These guys have amazing courage to stand up for their colleagues. This strike is about getting back 2 (now 6) pilots who were sacked but given no reason. They were the two who set up the union.
