OneSky Pilots Vote Out Teamster Union Representation

Company Chairman Kenn Ricci thanked pilots with $1,000 bonus checks for siding with management

OneSky pilots have chosen to discontinue union representation in a May 30 vote.

May 31, 2018

OneSky pilots have voted 318 to 220 to reject union representation by International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Local 1108. Yesterday’s vote, under the auspices of the U.S. National Mediation Board, concluded a long battle over union representation, following the 2013 merger of the Flexjet and Flight Options fractional ownership companies under OneSky chairman Kenn Ricci.

He included a letter of thanks to the notification of the vote, in which he announced that all pilots would receive a $1,000 bonus check in “celebration” of the vote. He also outlined “some immediate changes” the company plans in the following areas: Reinstating longevity for transfer pilots; increasing first officer compensation for better retention; increasing Phenom pilot compensation; increasing voluntary overtime compensation; and reinstating individual employment agreements.
