Warning for all SpiceJet Pilots !!!!!
Watch out for your new CEO Sanjay Aggarwal !!!!
Go onto Flightinfo.com and ask the Pilots from Flight Options what he was like and what his management style is.
He took a fractional airline with 220 aircraft and 980 pilots down to 115 aircraft and 485 pilots in just 3 years. The pilot group went from being the highest paid in the fractionals to the lowest. The morale of the employees dropped from being the highest pro management work force to the most hard core union supporters in just 3 years. All due to his ideas as to how a company should treat their employees. No pilots were furloughed, they all quit due to the working conditions he helped create. (120 pilots just last year and 20 in one month alone)
The man knows nothing about aviation and almost ran Flight Options into the ground until the new owners saw what a useless piece of Sh*t he was.
He is now involved in a lawsuit with the former owner Raytheon for money he says was owed to him. (Aggarwal v. Raytheon Company - 1:2008cv01158 - Justia Federal District Court Filings and Dockets
It will not be long before your head of marketing is replaced by Sanjays wife who is equally as incompetent as he is.
Look for another job if you are able to since your lives will be turned upside down.
Be prepared to see your quality of life suffer.
PM me if you want more details.

A CEO (with wife ) who know nothing about aviation--- Perfect-- thats what an airline in trouble needs
. I think Wilbur & the boys are just in it to increase their valuation, merge or sell the airline, and head out into the sunset. These guys are all "bean counter" guys who care very little about aviation, flying, employees etc. It's all about the money.
Hope all you guys at Spicejet know what is going to come next. I think he will force Indian pilots to take a pay cut and renegotiate expat contracts
with lower terms and decreased benefits once they expire.
Start sending out the CV's. This guy sounds like trouble.

I wasn't able to do anything on FlightInfo.com, because I didn't want to spend the ten bucks ... 
I actually don't think that will happen soon ... the reason being that the overall objective of this crew (IMHO) is to sell the company for maximum value. Slashing crew pay right off the bat would be a bit chaotic. Then again, it was done at USAir and (apparently) Flight Options with the same expectation (increased shareholder value) and the same result (chaos and a near-zero stock price). We watch and wait ...

Jack Ekl left Spicejet about a month back. Not sure if he is coming back. He remains on the roster under the "inactive" "non-duty assigned" category.
At present no Chief Pilot has been assigned.

I forgot to mention that he came from US Airways as well, He was brought to Flight Options by another US Airways guy. S. Michael Scheeringa.
Who taught him how to cut and chop to make a company look good for sale.
He is not there for the long term, just to cut and chop and make the books look good for a sale. (thats what he did at our company)
He was the biggest bean counter of them all.
For example he even sent out a memo to catering companies letting them know how much food they are allowed to give us in crew meals.
Here is part of that memo so you get an idea what sort of bean counter and micro manager he is...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 CREW COMPLETE LUNCH:
CREW LUNCH GUIDELINES:
***ALL SANDWICH BOX LUNCHES MUST CONTAIN ONLY:
- ONE (1) SANDWICH
- 5oz GARDEN SALAD
- 2oz SALAD DRESSING
- ONE (1) PC WHOLE FRUIT
- ONE (1) MAYO PACKET
- ONE (1) MUSTARD PACKET
- ONE (1) ITALIAN DRESSING *ONLY IF SANDWICH IS AN ITALIAN SUB*
- SETUP
***ALL SALAD BOX LUNCHWES MUST CONTAIN ONLY:
- 4oz ROMAINE LETTUCE
- 2oz APPROPRIATE SIDE VEGETABLES
- 6-8oz APPROPRIATE MEAT, CHEESE, OR BOTH
- 4oz SALAD DRESSING
- 1oz CROUTONS
- 1pc WHOLE FRUIT
- SETUP
***DO NOT INCLUDE ROLL & BUTTER <or> DESSERT W/ANY CREW LUNCH**
2 DISPOSABLE SETUP,
TO INCLUDE: FORK, KNIFE, AND SPOON
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the caterers received the memo they thought that it was a joke.
Since he was replaced we now have a great meal policy where we can order and expense anything we want to eat.
If you already don't have a union or contract you should consider one ASAP.
Fly safe

I don't think Spicejet has a union but I am sure the expats have a contract. Contracts don't mean a lot here. But then again for the Indians, there is always Raj Thackeray who will ensure that meals and others conditions including jobs remain intact. Just ask the 1800 odd Jet Airways employees who got their jobs back after 48 hrs, their CEO suddenly developed a conscience.
Any Spicejetters care to comment about this guy? Has he started work at the office as yet?
