Jet cuts pilot, cabin crew allowances

As far as international layover allowances are concerned, the daily amount has been decreased to 140 per night for flight captains from 200. For co-pilots, the same has been brought down to 100. A layover allowance stands for the grant given to pilots and cabin crewmembers on a per day basis for overnight stays outside their home cities. For pilots, even their over-time allowances have been discontinued by the airline.

When contacted about the cuts in the allowances of pilots and cabin crew staff, a Jet airways spokesperson said that the allowances have been rationalised as per international standards. Also in the firing line are Jet8217;s cabin crewmembers 8212; over 800 of who escaped from a lay-off move by the airline in September this year. A cabin crewmember with the airline confirmed the news about their allowances getting cut as well.
