Mumbai: The recently-formed Jet Airways pilots' association said on Thursday it has given the management seven days time to reinstate two sacked pilots, failing which it may resort to industrial action.
"After seven days notice, it could be industrial action (which can be a strike) to be undertaken by the Guild," National Aviators Guild (NAG) President Girish Kaushik told reporters.
A strike is the last thing on the Guild's mind and the seven-day notice (period) would be peaceful and it would wait for better sense to prevail, Kaushik said.
Jet Airways recently sacked two of its pilots – Captain Sam Thomas and Captain Balaraman -- alleging that the two were indulging in “union activities”.
The Jet Airways pilots recently formed the National Aviators Guild to take up various pilot-related issues such as carrier progression and wage revision, among others, with the management.
Jet Airways, however, refused to recognise the Guild.
The Guild has also sought Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel's intervention on the issue, Kaushik said.
