The NetJets pilots’ union amended a lawsuit it filed in December to allege that the fractional ownership provider is engaged in an unlawful intimidation campaign designed to “ultimately destroy the union.” The NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots, which represents approximately 2,700 NetJets pilots, originally filed a suit against NetJets claiming violation of the Federal Railway Labor Act and Stored Communications Act. NetJets, the suit claims, obtained private communications, conducted surveillance of legal protected union activities and threatened to blacklist union supporters and retaliate. The amendment adds new allegations that the company is threatening pilots by referring to job losses at the bankrupt Hostess Brands. The union cites as an example messages on social media such as “Remember the Hostess motto: Sweetest Comeback ever.”
