New Delhi, Sep 10 (Inditop.com) Striking pilots of the Jet Airways late Thursday hoped of an early and “positive decision” as they continued their talks with the management.

“We are hopeful of a positive decision from the talks in a couple of hours,” Girish Kaushik, president of the National Aviators Guild (NAG) – an association of Jet pilots who have gone on strike, told Inditop.

He was hopeful the four pilots the management has sacked would be taken back – as demanded by striking pilots.

When contacted, a Jet spokesperson declined to confirm or deny if the talks were on. However, the airline was yet to announce information on flight cancellations for the next day as it has done for the past two days.

The three-day old strike has led to the cancellation of nearly 700 flights, creating troubles for over 28,000 passengers.
