Is this a better CBA? The safety and fatigue concerns NJA pilots had before 2018 were minimized for new sources of income that don’t keep up with inflation. The lack of regulation in the industry and hundreds of pilots in their 60s and 70s with documented cognitive decline now have an incentive to keep going even longer than before.

NJASAP can’t negotiate successfully in Section 6, nor do they have the ability to get NJA to be transparent with their finances. It’s not easy being the only unionized group in their industry.

While NJA pilots are being paid more than ever, in my view the cost of that improvement is too great and too risky.

With that said, there are many things that make NJA a good place to work and in some ways it surpasses what 121 pilots have.
