Plagued by mounting losses, private air-carrier Jet Airways [Get Quote] has sacked at least 25 expatriate pilots, including captains of Boeing 737 aircraft, a Jet spokesperson said on Saturday.
The expatriates get between $15,000 to 18,000 salary per month besides perquisites such as five-star hotel accommodation and business class conveyance to their home country.
Earlier, around Diwali, Jet had sacked about 1000 temporary staff but later rescinded its move by taking back all the employees.
Another private air-carrier, the Vijay Mallya-run Kingfisher Airlines, had last month, announced a cut in the salaries of its trainee pilots as a part of its cost-cutting measures.
