Mumbai: At least 2,500 airline employees are expected to lose their jobs in next four-six months from domestic Carriers that are set to post a combined loss of $2 billion in 2008-09, according to airline executives and analysts. This is about 8% of the total workforce employed by private Carriers. Wiser with the Jet Airways (India) Ltd’s experience, domestic Carriers are not going for large-scale retrenchments at one go. Instead, they are taking employees off payrolls in phases and small lots. Jet Airways had planned to sack as many as 1,900 cabin crew in 2008 but had to abandon the plan in the face of stiff political resistance. Retrenchment is only one leg of the cost-cutting exercise that domestic Carriers are undertaking. They are also paring pay packets of existing employees, yet again. The trigger for the retrenchment is a fresh round of capacity reduction of up to 20%, starting June. This is on top of the 15% cut in flights that domestic Carriers had effected in mid-2008 in the wake of rising cost of aviation turbine fuel and mounting losses. To add to their woes, India’s airlines posted an at least 10% decline in passenger traffic during the fiscal ended March, hit by a slowing economy and high fares. Jet Airways has handed over pink slips to about three dozens executives who are at least 60 years old. It has also terminated some of the cabin crew on probation and other management staff and shut its offices in Singapore, Kuala ...
