Go First stops pilots’ retention allowance from July 1

"The retention allowance for June will be credited as part of our salaries by the end of the month, following which the airline will stop paying retention allowance," a pilot working with the airline told. He added that the senior management said that the airline was finding it difficult to raise funds, because of which it will stop paying the allowance. In an internal mail in May, Go First had said that it would pay a retention allowance of Rs 1 lakh to captains and Rs 50,000 to first officers, per month.
