NMB Clears Way for Flexjet/Flight Options Union Vote
National Mediation Board deems Directional Aviation units Flight Options and Flexjet as a single carrier, a ruling that will combine workforces.

The National Mediation Board (NMB) yesterday issued a ruling recognizing Flight Options and Flexjet as a single carrier, setting up a vote on whether the combined pilot groups will be unionized. The International Local Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), which represents approximately 380 Flight Options pilots, sought a ruling that the companies operate as a single transportation system for representation purposes under the Railway Labor Act. The IBT has been seeking to organize the current 310 Flexjet pilots as one group with Flight Options pilots.
