BOEING 2.0?

NetJets’ ongoing and escalating exclusion of its own pilots from safety protocols is of extreme concern to NJASAP.  Like NetJets’ leaders, Boeing executives ignored concerns raised by its front-line employees, focusing instead on profits and  shareholder dividends. The intentional termination of FOQA, the systematic reduction of SMS functions, and the continuing failure to address widespread safety culture concerns appear to be deliberate choices by NetJets management. Choosing to sideline these critical safety mechanisms reflects a pattern of decision-making that increases the risk of operational incidents.

In direct contrast, the FAA’s safety philosophy emphasizes that safety management must incorporate multiple layers of oversight and input to function effectively, recognizing that employee participation is critical to maintaining a strong safety culture. Excluding NJASAP signals a deliberate attempt to avoid the accountability and scrutiny that fosters a healthy safety culture, setting the global leader in private air transportation on a course to becoming Boeing 2.0. 

The similarities are chilling.
