COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, NJASAP, the independent labor union representing the 3,200-plus pilots who fly for NetJets, received a letter from NetJets counsel alleging, among other things, that the Union had condoned or encouraged pilots to engage in a work slowdown in an attempt to negatively impact the Fractional's operations. A subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A), NetJets Aviation Inc. is the premier provider of luxury private air transportation.

Key Points: 
  • A subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A), NetJets Aviation Inc. is the premier provider of luxury private air transportation.
  • NJASAP adamantly denies NetJets's allegation that pilots are engaged in an unlawful slowdown.
  • Specifically, NetJets has alleged pilots were "spiking" fatigue rates, increasing the frequency of documenting maintenance issues on aircraft and refusing to voluntarily extend their duty days.
  • The company issued this demand while, once again, failing to identify a single pilot who engaged in any of the alleged conduct.
