Pilots mass leave illegal; HC restrains any kind of strike:Jet

Stung by more than half of its pilots taking mass sick leave that forced cancellation of about 190 flights by 1400 hrs, Jet Airways on Tuesday termed the agitation as illegal and secured a restrain order from Bombay High Court against any strike.

"The Bombay High Court has passed an order restraining any kind of strike," Jet CEO Wolfgang Prock-Schauer told the news agency and added that all possible efforts were being taken to save passengers from inconvenience and restore normalcy.

The Jet pilots have been protesting the sacking of two of their colleagues by the management for reportedly joining the guild.
