Myth about connections and "jugaad" ...

Myth about connections and "jugaad" ...

Too much is being spoken about people with political contacts.

Understand that no airline will want a sizeable portion of their work force with political connections. They are asking for trouble. Tomorrow these very politically connected junior pilots could start some new union or other forms of mass protests and cause trouble to management.

Yes, there are a few candidates with political connections but VERY FEW.
They are those with really good contacts with union ministers belonging to Congress or those who know Mr.Praful Patel personally.
MLAs, MPs and other small time political contacts never work with an airline like 9W.


Secondly .. regarding "Commanders" and their kids.

Again a big myth. These "Commanders" are mere employees of the airline. Except for VP OPs, Chief Pilot, and few other Examiners, none of the other so called "COMMANDERS" (better known as Captains) have any big influence on the selections.

There are several sons/daughters/newphews of "commanders" of jet airways itself who have been unemployed for almost 2 years now.

Dont forget, these "commanders" will first have to make way for the real jugaadu kids .. ie those who know the VP, Director etc of Jet Airways.
