Causing inconvenience to more than a thousand employees, Jet Airways has delayed salary for the month of March.

Internal communication of the airline company intimated the employees, "Due to certain circumstances beyond our control, the disbursal of March 2018 salary is postponed."

Accordingly, the payroll of the pilot, cabin crew and the engineers will be run on April 10, while the other staff member will get paid on April 3.

However, Jet Airways refused to divulge the reason behind the delay when enquired by ANI.

"Jet Airways does not comment on matters internal to the company," a spokesperson from the airline said. 

Meanwhile, it was reported that Jet Airways airline had asked two of its pilot to quit after they came drunk to work twice. 

According to a report in the Times of India, Jet Airways is also probing after a complaint from a Bangkok hotel has been filed regarding a pilot who was allegedly passed out in the lobby and relieved himself there after getting drunk. 

The incident happened earlier this month. 

Citing sources, the report stated that the two pilots who have been asked to resign are a captain and a co-pilot of a Boeing 737.

Sources told the newspaper that Jet Airways followed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) norms and suspended their licences for three months after they failed the pre-flight breath analyser (BA) test. 

Reacting to the incident, a Jet spokesman said, “Safety of guests is of paramount importance at Jet Airways and the company will take appropriate action against employees who abuse its code of conduct and prescribed regulations. As these are confidential personnel related matters the company cannot comment further."

Earlier this month, Jet Airways was also in news as the Competition Commission's order against three airlines for anti-competitive practices with regard to fixing of fuel surcharge on cargo transport shows that people cannot get away by flouting the norms, according to a Senior Advocate who appeared for the informant in the case.
