Team-BHP - Go First Airlines files for bankruptcy

Have they introduced “traveler pay after they land” policy? If not, not sure who would buy their tickets! My one canceled flight money is still ceased by GO AIR until not sure when - which clearly shows their selfish attitude. That said, a message to go air - please refund my tickets sir engine soberness!

I had been to the company to interview for the position of MIS. Altough I could not crack the given problem then & there (They wanted an attendance schedule built in Excel), I requested the interviewer if she was ok to mail me the file & I can work it out from my home.

She asked "How will we know you did it?"

I confidently replied "You can ask me any question related to the file, I'll happily break it down for you"

She agreed, completed the file, sent it via mail, explained the workings.

Got an offer from them on mail, asked the interviewer what is the backend system used in the company. she laughed and replied "Koi backend system nahi hai" (There's no backend system), which raised suspicion in my mind as the current company also didn't have any proper system and it was something which was the main reason to move away.

Followed up for a proper offer letter, which was "Will be shared shortly", sadly the short time never passed & I never got the proper offer.

This was the only flash that came to my mind when I saw the headline that Go-Air has shut shop.

I have been following go first twitter and like you, there are numerous people asking for refunds. Please do update on what happens with yours as I too booked through goibibo and although my flight is on 5th June, I don't expect it to fly and will be cancelled.

Today received an email from goibibo stating my refund shall be processed by this month end. Fingers crossed 🤞
Though it isn't refunding convenience fee 690 charged at the time of booking the flight.

Suppose GoAir does start it's service, how many people would actually opt for it considering it's track record of cancellations? I've flown GoAir on maybe 2-3 occassions, and my experience was nothing to write about.

Update:

Quote:

500 of the total 600 pilots of have quit Go First to join other airlines. Go First hasn't paid salaries to employees since May. Many pilots, cabin crew, aircraft maintenance engineers have quit Go First since its grounding

Like I said earlier, the end is inevitable and i will be surprised if it ever flies again. Air Akasha had shown it's better to start a new airline than to try and revive an ailing one unless it has some unique advantages.

Go First and Jet Airways lose the airlines code issued by IATA due to being non-operational. G8 and 9W are defunct now.

The designator and numeric codes remain blocked for 12 months, during which the airline can ask for the reinstatement of the designator if the requirements are met. Go First did not responded to queries at the time of going print but a Jalan-Kalrock spokesperson said, “The 9W code is held by Jet Airways and is currently under preservation with IATA as it is to be used only for commercial operations. It will be de-preserved upon recommencement of operations.”

DAE, the lessor for Go First airlines has inspected their aircrafts in July and August and found them to be in worse shape than earlier.

The lessor alleges that "the surface of the top fuselage was completely dirty and had a greenish deposit on it.

Corrosion was observed in various places on the aircraft, including the brakes. The blankings/protective covers were apparently removed before the lessor's inspectors arrived as engine runs were being carried out.
