Captain Gopinath had a dream – the dream of adding wings to the common man’s life. He had brought a revolution in the Indian aviation sector through his unique service brand of ‘Air Deccan’- an airliner which fulfilled the cherished dreams of many a thousand of common man in the country to touch the skies.
The rising popularity of ‘Air Deccan’ had become an eye sore to many other airliners as they found it tough to stand in competition in terms of Air Deccans’ passenger fleet and its low cost. The group was strategically taken over by the UB chief Mr. Vijay Mallayas’ Kingfisher airlines. The immediate impact of the take over was a change in looks of the newly possessed airbuses and staffs followed by manifold rise in the flight fares and job cuts.
October 15th, 2008 is also a memorable day in the history of Indian aviation but for a wrong reason - it’s the day of largest lay-off in the Indian aviation sector. About 1000 employees have been sacked from their jobs and many more would follow the same fate. The otherwise tough competitors, the Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines, have now joined hands to cut their soaring costs. This has definitely given them a duopoly in the aviation segment.
When asked on the issue of employees’ lay-offs by the Jet Airways, the Civil Aviation Minister Mr. Praful Patel expressed his limitations on giving directives to the private airliners and termed their decision as a routine HR work by any private group.
Now the question is, if he can’t do anything for these poor young chaps who have lost their source of livelihood, why is he staunchly supporting for a ‘bail-out’ plan of these private airliners at the cost of tax payers money? Is he not aware of other big issues and crisis which is facing the nation and common man today?
These capitalist giants who pocket maximum benefits out of all situations can very well handle this crisis by:
