Jet-Etihad offers double salary to AI pilots

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways and its Indian partner Jet Airways are in touch with Air India pilots who fly wide-bodied Boeing 777 aircraft, and are offering them up to double their current compensation. Jet Airways vice-president had individually invited 140 AI commanders in November. Etihad's Rs.2,058 crore infusion into JA for a 24% stake was cleared by government last year.
