WHAT:
 Informational picketing by as many as 1,000 NetJets pilots and their family members.

WHERE:
 CHI Health Center, 455 N. 10th St., Omaha, Nebraska

WHEN:
 Saturday, May 6, 2023, from 0600LT to 1600LT

WHY:

  • Despite the sustained pilot labor crisis, NetJets executives have chosen not to take 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's competitive position continues to diminish based on the Executive Management Team's refusal to acknowledge and to take proactive steps to compete for pilot talent. 
     
  • Absent appropriate competitive adjustments, NetJets has little hope of evading the repercussions of losing talented, experienced pilots to Part 121 carriers who are offering dramatically enhanced packages of compensation and working conditions. 
     
  • NJASAP views this head-in-the-sand stance as unfathomable – especially when we stand ready to partner with management to recapture NetJets's former cache, benefiting all Berkshire Hathaway stakeholders.
