Jet Airways has been making headlines for the past few months for some reason or the other. In another incident, a Jet Airways employee complained about money being debited from his Forex allowance without his consent. Jet Airways provided the pilots and cabin crew with Forex allowance for international trips so, during visits to overseas countries, they could use the money. However, Jet Airways pilots and crew alleged that money has been debited from their Axis Forex travel debit cards without prior intimation.
