Today, received an email from Jet stating that the last leg (AMS - DEL) is cancelled and to contact them for further details. They seem to show the PDX - AMS leg (on DL) still valid. Tried reaching their US toll free number, but that also does not work now !
Wondering if I should call Delta to check or directly call Amex to get the refund initiated. And any experiences on how the refund is computed, since now may possibly need to buy a OW which is nearly the price of a return flight.

Not sure when your flight is but if it is after 9W sinks nobody is going to honor that ticket even the DL legs....
I don’t know how the credit card insurance works but that maybe an easier way to get your ticket refunded vs. getting it from 9W.

Since the ticket is 9W stock, DL won’t be able to do much with it. I would suggest you cancel the ticket and buy a new one.

I have got refunds for 2 separate tickets cancelled by Jet within 2 weeks. 2 miles redemption including tax components were also refunded in a week. Pleasantly surprised with Jet's promptness and my luck so far. In contrast, still waiting for an Air India refund after 6 weeks. Now I have just 3 more refunds to worry about while I think what to do with 100,000+ miles in my account. Any suggestions FTers?
Some newspaper estimated they have 3500 CR of refunds to give. And for sure 9W doesn’t have 3500 CR of cash lying around.

I assume they would pay up their big TAs first, people buying directly at jet airways.com would be the last in pecking order. I might be wrong though.

TAs can void the ticket and get the money refunded from the clearing agency (the clearing house usually holds the funds and disburses them once the flight is performed by the airline). Tickets booked directly are FUBAR if the airline goes bust.
In other news it seems AF/KL and Etihad are trying to accomodate passengers stranded on 9W flights.
The airline has nearly seized operations as the 1100 flight deck crews will stop working today.

9W pilots all 1100 of them are going on strike from 10 AM tomorrow. 1100 pilots and flying probably 20-30 flights a day. Doesn't look like SBI is going to give any more money to 9W.

Pilots strike cancelled. So all of 9Ws 5-6 aircrafts will be flying on Monday subject to IOC fueling them.
The pilots have deferred the strike due to the important meeting between management, SBI & pilots on Monday morning to discuss the fate of the airlines.
I’m guessing tomorrows the last day anyways... so there is little point in the strike.
