With the recent pilots strike that was called- and the further 256 odd pilots going on strike for the re-enstatement of the 2 sacked pilots, thus putting the entire jet airways operations on hold – and holding the entire aviation industry to somthing just short of ransom. What was really surprising was that during one of the news articles, I rememberd seeing a sign being held up by other jet airways employees- are ” 2 pilots more important than 13000 staff?”
it got me thinking- why did they strike in the first place? that 2 pilots got sacked for “forming a welfare group” and this is what the “welfare group” is capable of?
Whom are they kidding?
a 18 Crore a day loss
281 Flights cancelled
now jet is offering a 50% discount. But the brand image has been hit so bad.
How do you measure the brand impact? Folks are going to take a bug hit at this- there was a news article about the customers lost faith due to last minute cancellations.
the largest percentage of jet is busienss travellers- now gaining the confidence is going to cost a LOT more.
Long term impact- will take a while to calculate!
