NJASAP Fires Back at Management Allegations of Wildcat Actions
NetJets management has issued a letter to the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots alleging that "the Union had condoned or encouraged pilots to engage in a work slowdown in an attempt to negatively impact the Fractional's operations."
NJASAP fired back at the allegations over the weekend, asserting that they were not, as management says, "'spiking"'fatigue rates, increasing the frequency of documenting maintenance issues on aircraft and refusing to voluntarily extend their duty days.' They responded to the allegations with three overarching points.
"In its letter," NJASAP says, "NetJets failed to provide any evidence to substantiate that any pilot called in fatigued when they were not, in fact, too fatigued to safely perform flight operations". Secondly, they say the firm "failed to provide any evidence to substantiate that any pilot documented maintenance issues on aircraft that did not actually exist", and thirdly "failed to provide any evidence to substantiate that any pilot refused to work extra days simply to impact the Company's operations as opposed to their own personal reasons."
"NJASAP adamantly denies that it is engaged in any concerted effort to condone or to encourage such a slowdown, and we have issued a communication to our members to cease and desist any individual efforts to do so," NJASAP President Capt. Pedro Leroux said. "We view NetJets' letter and threats as its latest attempt to censor NJASAP's ability to communicate with its members about important matters that affect flight crew and owner and customer safety." Leroux went on to emphasize that NJASAP will vigorously defend itself against all allegations and will not be intimidated in its efforts to effectively represent the Membership's interests.
