New Delhi, Sep 10 - As Jet Airways pilots were Thursday huddled together in Mumbai to take a 'final call' on their future course of action, the carrier's ground staff appealed to them to withdraw their agitation and 'not put our future at risk'.

'We appeal to the pilots to give up their agitation. Our airline is making losses and now due to the pilots' agitation, our revenue is going to other airlines. How will we get our salaries?' Ashwani, a Jet Airways supervisor, said to reporters in the national capital.

The ground staff said while they were sympathetic to the problems of the pilots, there was always a way to resolve issues.

'We are already going through recession. Our salaries will be delayed. The airline is already undergoing losses. The pilots cannot put our future at risk,' said Jagjeet Kaur, a customer care executive.

'Just because of these 600 pilots, 13,000 other employees cannot be made to suffer. We are with (chairman) Mr. Naresh Goyal in this time of crisis,' she added.

The strike has already resulted in the cancellation of nearly 450 flights and has inconvenienced over 28,000 passengers in the past two days.

Thursday saw 230 domestic and international flights being cancelled.
