    Jet Airways faced a labor dispute in September 2009 when around 650 pilots took a mass sick leave to protest the airline's sacking of two pilots who had joined a labor union. The sick leave lasted 5 days and resulted in the cancellation of 900 flights. This caused major losses for Jet Airways as well as disruption for passengers and the aviation industry. While the pilots argued they were exercising their legal rights to unionize, Jet Airways' management claimed the pilots' actions were like terrorism and criticized India's labor laws for not preventing such disruptions. The document argues that India's aging labor laws are too rigid and fail to balance the rights of labor with the need for a flexible labor market, resulting in negative economic impacts.
