Capt Mohan (ex- DFO Air India) is standing to my right below.
Photos were taken at a farewell luncheon held in SM Centre, Mumbai.
On my left is Cmdr Baal & Gr Capt G R Reddy (Simulator Engineering Manager).
Back to the camera is Regina my secretary.
Capt 'Slim' Mohan saying a few words of farewell.
Also present were Peter Leuthi, the new COO and Wolfgang the CEO.
The brains behind the Airline are Saroj, Vic Dungca and ofcourse the man himself Naresh Goyal its Chairman.
Well done guys!!!!
My words of response were: "There's a tide in the affairs of men which when taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitten........"
I have taken the tide, and now, as all tides do ebb, so to, I have to ebb away into retirement."
S.K Datta ( with the beard) smiles at this statement and so does Capt Malkani on his left and Jennifer D'silva (Exec PA to Chairman, Naresh Goyal).
Thanks Jenifer for organising the farewell luncheon.
Quite a sad day on the whole.
On reflection Jet Airways was a very good employer and deserves the No 1 status it has acquired in India and maybe very soon, in the world.
I am glad that I have, in a small way, laid some foundation in Flt Ops, and now pass on for better things in life.
