Jet Airways' management, including its new vice-president (human resources) Samar Srivastava, are likely to meet the pilots and other executives on Wednesday at the airline's headquarters in Mumbai to discuss the proposal to restore salaries , as per a report in ET.

"The salary cuts were as much as 40% for some of the pilots unlike the 25% that the management says. Some restoration of salaries had happened earlier this year but the management will reinstate the remaining 6% by January this year," said one of the officials, not wanting to be named. Salaries were supposed to be restored in three phases starting with 8% followed by 6% and another 6% towards the end. 

The meeting will also look to thrash out issues relating to pilots' career progression. As the airline plans to hire 100 more pilots as commanders from the market for its expanding international operations, existing pilots want to ensure smooth career progression after fresh recruitments.
