About 100 pilots have quit Kingfisher Airlines in the last four months, according to a television channel report. Kingfisher has 650 pilots on its rolls.

"IndiGo and GoAir are offering hefty joining bonuses to trained commanders and so pilots are making a beeline to join these airlines. There is a sense of desperation. Salaries were delayed last month and have not been paid this month. Some are upset for not receiving income tax Form 16,'' the channel quoted an airline source.
