Jet Airways Management should bend to break stalemate

The strike by Jet Airways pilots has turned into a clash of ego between the Mamanagement and the striking pilots. Jet They appear to have little concern for the harrowing time the passengers have been passing for the last three days. In the last 13 years, the Jet Airways have progressed by leaps and bonds. The management must understand that it is because of passengers that their aviation company has reached so high. So, they must take utmost care of the concerns of passengers. Jet Airways boss Naresh Goyal appears to be strict more than required in dealing with the striking pilots. He also appears to be opposed to unionism in his aviation company. While it is fudamental right to association of the citizens of the coutry. It is also natural for the staff of any company to damand more and more. And it is the responsibility of the management how to deal with employees’ demand amicably and run the company smoothly. No where in the world, the management of aviation company has opposed the formation the union of pilots. Jet Airways has reported to have sacked the two pilots because they took active interest in the formation of Union. The pilots have gone on strike in the Jet Airways against this arbitrary action of the management. The main demand of striking pilots is reinstatement of the two sacked pilots. But the two warring camps are waitig to see who blinks first on the one hand and holding the passengers to ransom on the other. It will show the Jet Airways in very poor state. Jet Airways Management must have anticipated the turbulence in view of the pilots going on strike and taken step earlier to avoid the huge inconvenience being faced by the passsengers. They must have acted sincerely to avert the strike. The company can not be run arbitrarily and the Management has to bend before the employess if they want to run their business smoothly and make progress. The striking pilots must also maintain the discipline, decorum and norms of the aviation company. The association between pilots and the mamanagement is not of a day but of years and both have laboured very hard to take the company to this stage. So, they must not take a step that could jeopardise all their efforts made in the past. The Jet Airways boss must call the striking pilots for talks and both should sit at a negotiating table and resolve the issue amicably. The Management must take conciliatory measures immediately and the pilots must respond positively to end the stalemate and the ordeal of the passengers they have put in. The veild warning of the management to the striking pilots will make only the situation worse. Jet Airways boss must act without any loss of time to end the strike.
