Extending support to Jet Airways management, ground staff of the airline today issued an emotional appeal to the protesting pilots asking them to return to work.
"We want this strike to be withdrawn because it is affecting not only the airline but us also. The future of families depend on this as the company is losing revenue as well as passengers' trust," Surender Sharma, a representative of the ground staff, told reporters here.
Jagjeet Kaur, another ground staff, said, "We want this agitation to come to an end today itself. We have been working as a team and now after two days of the strike, the future of 13,000 non-pilot employees is at stake."
"600 pilots are withdrawing salary which amounts to 40 per cent of the company's revenue.
