NetJets to Continue Forced Retirements at 70

NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots Represents 3,100-Strong Flight Crew Roster

NetJets pilots hoping for additional working years at the tail end of their career have been disappointed by the arbitrator's decision to allow the firm's new age-70 forced retirement, according to recent communications.

The news broke through social media in what came directly to NJASAP members ahead of the Monday morning press release cycle. The seldom-explained acronym stands for the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots, a body that represents the 3,100-strong crew who fly for the fractional operator. The union had filed a grievance when they found that NetJets had removed all pilots aged 70 and older from the flight schedules from January 2024 and beyond. The System Board "received a draft decision and award from Arbitrator Joshua Javits," reads the notice. "The decision denies the grievance in its entirety and finds no violation in the Company's implementation of a mandatory retirement rule."

"NJASAP knows this decision is extremely stressful for affected members, and it is committed to providing as much information as possible to ease the transition. To that end, we will publish the signed final decision and award from the Arbitrator as soon as it is provided to the Union." 

The communique was signed off with an email address for NJASAP Legal Counsel.
