I love flying, tech and most importantly motoring in my MINI.

NJASAP members are hosting an informational picket outside #ArtBaselMiami to fight for market-rate wages. #OnlyNetJets refuses to invest in its pilots – the group that plays the most direct role in delivering the brand's luxury product. And that begs the question: Are owners getting the value that should accompany the Fractional's premium price tag? | https://t.co/aNmbBTlOz9

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

On the front page of the @WSJ, NJASAP calls out #BerkshireHathaway CEO Warren Buffett & questions whether #OnlyNetJets owners are getting the value associated with the Fractional’s premium price tag. Owners pay for the peace of mind that comes from having experienced pilots on the flight deck, but quality pilots are leaving; #BerkshireHathaway & #NetJets execs are seemingly just fine with that. | https://t.co/aNmbBTlOz9

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

As a complement to its content on the front page of today’s @WSJ, NJASAP has issued a news release that shares additional commentary on #BerkshireHathaway and #OnlyNetJets executives seeming lack of concern for the loss of its competitive footing in the pilot marketplace. // https://t.co/jjhLyIHq1q // #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage #Aviation

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

As the #pilotshortage tightens its grip on the #aviation industry, NJASAP members and their families will picket at area airports in conjunction with the #LasVegasGP to call attention to #OnlyNetJets continued refusal to pay the market-rate wages necessary to retain experienced aviators. | More at https://t.co/aNmbBTlOz9

@elonmusk 17th is my birthday. That would be a fantastic date!

New in CMH: NJASAP has deployed new designs on its billboards located along the drive to #OnlyNetJets’ Headquarters at the intersection of Stelzer and Johnstown as well as the intersection of Stelzer and Agler. // https://t.co/aNmbBTlOz9 // #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage #Aviation #UnionStrong

An all-star lineup requires an all-star #contract to attract and retain all-star #pilots. As it is, #OnlyNetJets is #NotCompetitive and at risk of becoming a junior varsity team until executive managers take definitive action amid this #pilotshortage. | https://t.co/7INCopiAwO

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

60% of pilots who have left #OnlyNetJets since 01.01.23 have been in their first three years of service. We fear the Fractional will soon become #Aviation's choice training ground for new #Pilots: A place to build time - not a career. https://t.co/aNmbBTmmoH #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

NJASAP members are picketing in Hailey, Idaho, to decry #OnlyNetJets's refusal to take bold steps to attract and retain top pilot talent. The picket, which coincides with the 2023 #AllenAndCo Conference, emphasizes NJASAP’s belief that executives are putting #NetJets's status as the global leader in private air transportation at risk. #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

Flying for #OnlyNetJets demands extraordinary skill + expertise, but low wages & long schedules have diminished the brand's competitive edge - especially when superior wages & benefits are readily available elsewhere. https://t.co/7INCopj8mm #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

Commitment to seamless travel would imply commitment to attracting and retaining top pilot talent, no? https://t.co/7INCopiAwO #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage #Aviation #UnionStrong

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

The best way to make sure world-class aviators occupy the #OnlyNetJets flight deck is to actively compete for that talent - especially as the #PilotShortage continues. More at https://t.co/7INCopiAwO #NotCompetitive #aviation

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

Speaking of demand … Will top pilot talent be clamoring for an interview with #OnlyNetJets when they will make 60% of what pilots at low-cost carriers can expect to make across a 30-year career? We think not ... https://t.co/7INCopiAwO #PilotShortage #NotCompetitive

USA Today Content: NJASAP comments on NetJets’s training standards & practices, which it views as inferior to those observed by our Part 121 peers. Learn more about the pilot union’s concerns at https://t.co/7INCopiAwO. #OnlyNetJets #PilotShortage #AviationLabor

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

Imagine prioritizing the pilot workforce in a way that restores #OnlyNetJets status as a choice career opportunity that easily attracts + retains top aviators. #PilotShortage #NotCompetitive

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

The finest fleet demands the finest pilots, but how will @NetJets recruit and retain them when it refuses to compete for the best and brightest pilot talent? https://t.co/7INCopiAwO #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

To remain the global leader in fractional aviation, #NetJets must take action to hone its competitive position. Sharing this belief, 90+ NJASAP members & families participated in #theMemorial Informational Picket on Sunday, June 4. | Photo Gallery >> https://t.co/dnVAi62Ev4

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

Head-in-the-sand management is diminishing NetJets’s competitive edge - a view that 90+ NJASAP members & families expressed at the #Indy500 Picket. Top pilot talent is vital to #NetJets who refuses to take bold steps to secure skilled aviators. https://t.co/uZhnCkFB4w

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

An extraordinary demonstration of solidarity, NJASAP hosted the largest informational picket in NetJets history outside the #BerkshireHathaway Shareholders’ Meeting on May 6. It drew 800-plus off-duty members & their families https://t.co/F2jGLuOSnM #NotCompetitive #PilotShortage

[NJASAP @NJASAP]

When aviators have their choice of carrier, why choose #NetJets whose pilots will earn 56% of what their peers at low-cost carriers can earn across a 30-year career? By burying its head in the sand, NetJets is #NotCompetitive as the #PilotShortage continues.
