25 August 2023 - 3:30PM
PR Newswire (US)
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ --
In a recent survey, 72% of new hires do not
view NetJets as a career destination carrier.
WHO
|
The NetJets Association
of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) represents the professional
interests of the 3,100-plus pilots who fly in the service of
NetJets Aviation, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK)
subsidiary.
|
WHAT
|
Informational picketing
by NetJets pilots and their families coinciding with The FedEx Tour
Championship in Atlanta
|
WHERE
|
Signature Flight
Support (KPDK), 3150 Corsair Dr., Atlanta, Georgia
|
WHEN
|
Sunday, Aug. 27, 2023,
from 0900LT to 1200LT
|
WHY
|
- Despite the sustained pilot labor crisis,
NetJets executives have not taken meaningful steps to attract and
to retain talented pilot personnel, putting the brand's status as
the global leader in private air transportation at risk.
- Indeed, as the pilot shortage tightens its
grip on the marketplace, NetJets' competitive position continues to
diminish: In a recent survey, 72% of pilots in their first year of
service with NetJets do not view the Fractional as a career
destination carrier.
- NetJets pilots will earn, on average, 60% of
what their peers at some low-cost carriers will earn across a
30-year career. At a time when carriers are aggressively competing
for and recruiting pilot talent, what will compel the best aviators
to choose NetJets that refuses to make appropriate competitive
adjustments?
- Rather than compete for talent, NetJets has
opted to avert a hiring crisis by lowering minimum flight time
standards. Unsurprisingly, new hire pilot experience at NetJets has
plummeted 77% since 2018 – a shift NJASAP attributes to the brand's
decision to downplay the sustained pilot labor crisis.
- NJASAP views this head-in-the-sand stance as
unfathomable – especially when we stand ready to partner with
management to recapture NetJets' former cache, benefiting all
Berkshire Hathaway stakeholders.
- NJASAP members are picketing to inform the
public of the ongoing labor dispute and their concerns with
NetJets' training deficiencies as well as to show the NetJets
Executive Management Team that the pilots support their Union's
efforts.
