Flyers Trapped, Robbers on loot.
In an unprecedented occurrence, passengers flying or booked on Kingfisher flights were stuck in aircraft and airports across the country on Sunday evening when the airline's engineers, unpaid for months, went on a flash strike after learning that their houses were burgled when they were sincerely performing their duties.
Meanwhile,Thieves returned bare-handed from seven houses when they did not find any valuables except stale food packets meant for airline passengers.
It is assumed that the thieves entered the houses for gold and other expensive items but could not find any. Police sources said that all the thieves belonged to a single group as they entered all the seven houses on the same day.
It may be recalled that few days back the Kingfisher has paid the salary for March to a handful of employees, with no salaries sanctioned after that month, now burglary attempt in houses has brought fear among the employees of the company.
The anger in the Kingfisher employees is peaking as they fear that company authorities are not heeding their constant refrain that it is unsafe for an airline to keep making its people work without pay for daily sustenance.
"It is very surprising the way company management are turning a blind eye to the situation. Will they act only after some robbery takes place?" said an angry pilot, requesting anonymity.
The aviation ministry's stance has been that it cannot shut down an airline simply because it has not paid its employees for months and claims that the DGCA will ensure Honey bees and flight safety on whatever number of aircraft Kingfisher chooses to fly.
It says by that logic, it would first have to shut down Air India,Force india and Royal Challengers, BCCI, BSNL,...many more, "If employees are unpaid for months, they have the option of refusing to work or quitting and take legal recourse against the airline management. But if you are coming to work then you cannot suddenly go on strike and keep passengers locked inside aircraft. Mamata Di sunegi to dacoity ka drama karegi" said a senior official.
Meanwhile, Only person who deserves and gets handsome salary is CEO of crisis-ridden Kingfisher Airlines, Sanjay Agarwal whose pay package was the second highest after Vijay Mallya because he managed to successfully ground the airlines with nobody knowing whether it will take off again or not.
While Agarwal has said that he has also not been paid any salary since April as there were no funds,.. so zero loss cost to company.
