The decision was taken at the annual meeting of Jet Airways domestic pilots body National Aviators Guild after an over 90- minute meet. The organisation represents around 1,000 domestic pilots at the airline.”If there is no proper clarity on the resolution process and salary payments, by March 31, we will stop flying from April 1,” the guild said.The pilots and other senior staff have not RPT not been getting their full salaries since December.

Meanwhile, aviation minister Suresh Prabhu Tuesday also directed his the secretary to hold an emergency meeting on the debt-ridden airline that has been cancelling flights abruptly following grounding of a large part of its fleet.
