Jet Airways opens job applications for Boeing 737 trained crew
Jet Airways has opened Job Applications For Boeing 737 Trained Crew.
IDOMA VOICE reports that Jet Airways has moved a step closer to its relaunch following an announcement to hire trained pilots for immediate joining. The job advertisement on Twitter is likely to make many pilots, many of whom have either lost their job or are looking to change airlines, happy.
The latest communication from Jet could also be seen as an indication that the carrier is gradually overcoming teething problems as it gets ready to restart operations.
Pilots needed
Jet Airways is hiring pilots for its second stint. In an official tweet, the carrier announced that it is looking to onboard experienced trainers, captains, and co-pilots with a 737NG type rating. The new employees are expected to join immediately, hinting that the airline’s relaunch plans are on track at the moment.
The carrier’s revival strategy has long been shrouded in skepticism, with many not entirely convinced of its successful comeback. From being a much-loved airline at the peak of its operational years to going down dramatically in 2019, few had expected it to fly again in the near future, if at all.
But in late 2020, Murari Lal Jalan joined hands with Kalrock Capital to resurrect the downed carrier. Until then, the general public outside of the business world had not heard much about Jalan, who had always kept a low profile. He was also inexperienced in the airline industry, but that didn’t stop him from pursuing his plans.
The latest move to hire pilots is another indication that the company is finally overcoming obstacles to take to the skies again.
As expected, the carrier wants trained and experienced pilots for its 737 fleet. While it was always anticipated that Jet would look to Boeing again for its fleet expansion, there were whispers of it having talks with Airbus as well. The new advertisement makes things pretty clear on that front.
The carrier could be eyeing other airlines such as IndiGo and SpiceJet to lure pilots. In fact, stories of some SpiceJet pilots looking to leave for other carriers have been on the grapevine for some time now.
