Flexjet Sued Over Pilot Firings
IBT endorses lawsuit, saying pilots were illegally harassed and terminated for seeking unionization.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Airline Division is backing a lawsuit against Flexjet and its parent, OneSky, alleging that three of its pilots were illegally harassed and terminated for seeking unionization. Flexjet chairman Kenn Ricci, however, told AIN that the lawsuit is "an act of desparation" and a sign that the Teamsters is unable to get the support for unionization. The Teamsters Airline Division, which represents pilots at Flexjet sister company Flight Options, has been in the process of organizing Flexjet pilots.
