Spicejet fails to pay expatriate pilots final salaries since February
Spicejet has failed to pay the expat pilots laid off in February. All were told that this would be done 45 days after final paperwork was completed but it has now been 9 months. This is not the first group of expat pilots to be cheated out of their last month’s salary upon leaving. Countless letters and calls to Spicejet by the latest group are ignored.
A warning to potential new expat hires, ask about this issue before signing on with Spicejet. You will work your last month for free and have to buy you own ticket to return home. This is the normal practice at SpiceJet. Don’t believe anything else. |

Take them to the courts in your respective jurisdictions. There is no point complaining here.

The point of the post is to make others aware that if you join Spicejet as an expat you will probably be shafted as well.

Sooner or later this pandemic will be over. And IndiGo will start hiring again. And 97.2% SpiceJet pilots will do what is their lifetime goal - to work for IndiGo. And SpiceJet will run out of young ones willing to pay 45-60 Lakh extortion. Then perhaps SpiceJet will be hiring again and slowly start even paying their staff. |
In full honesty, I think SpiceJet wills survive just from the pay to fly locals. They charge their cadet pilots approximately 150,000 USD for training from beginning to 737 rating. And they have no shortage of those, they actually cant accept everyone who applies since they fill up every time in batches of 30.
From the expats perspective its just the Indian mentality of screwing you over once you've done the job you were required to do for them. What can you do once you've left the country ? Nothing. So they just drag you along till you give up on trying to get your pay. |
I'm not surprised. This is not the only one company!
Another one European company BH Air has lot of pilots and cabin crews unpaid since last February after they were fired! |
