Netjets has sued the 3400-member Netjets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) after it made critical comments about the company's commitment to safety. The suit was filed in state court in Columbus, Ohio, and seeks unspecified damages. The company's relationship with NJASAP has long been contentious. NJASAP raised concerns about Netjets' pilot training and safety culture, which the company viewed as defamatory. NJASAP President Pedro Leroux called the suit an attempt to silence the union. Netjets accuses the association of damaging the company's reputation through press releases and social media posts. Netjets also responded to advertisements and statements that suggested the company was not paying enough attention to the safety of its flights. The airline also denies claims that new pilots are inadequately trained. The lawsuit is another chapter in a long dispute between Netjets and the NJASAP.
