Topgun.....Netjets started with the Teamsters, not in-house. Avantair pilots do not have the resources at this time to represent themselves in-house.
As far as flying broken planes, I was asked several times to fly broken planes. In each situation I made a decision to NOT fly if the plane was unairworthy. Other pilots are posting here that they are pressured to fly broken planes. I agree with you....write it up. However.... Avantair forbids its pilots from writing up planes until after they have spoken with the company. A nice union contract will change that policy.
