Flexjet Calls Netjets Pilot Union Statement Self-Serving And Inappropriate

Says It Is Not The First Interference From Pilot Union Representing Flexjet’s Competitor

Oddly, the statement that attacks the Company and supports the Teamsters fails to mention that just a few days ago, more than half of Flexjet’s pilots called for a vote to decertify the Teamsters as its union representative. The vote is scheduled to begin May 2, 2018.
