Flight crews get new offer from NetJets Europe
NetJets Europe (NJE) has offered its flight crew new onshore contracts and improved pay.

NetJets Europe (NJE) has offered its flight crew new onshore contracts and improved pay. Proposed raises for pilots and flight attendants range from 4.6 percent to 26.7 percent, and new roster arrangements will limit maximum duty days to 50 days per quarter. AIN obtained a copy of the contract offer, which was sent to NetJets staff on December 1. (See box on page 30 for details.)

In addition, NJE is ending its longstanding practice of employing flight crew under contracts in offshore jurisdictions such as the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands. These contracts have excluded staff from European Union (EU) employment rights and have resulted in serious tax, social security and pension concerns (see AIN, December 2006, pages 1 and 18). The new contracts are permanent, rather than renewable at three-year intervals, which should allay some employee concerns about job insecurity.
