Incumbent candidates re-elected to three-year
term
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The NJASAP Membership has
made its mandate clear by re-electing Capt. Pedro Leroux to a fourth consecutive term as the
Union president with more than 80% of ballots cast in support of
his candidacy. An independent labor advocate, the NetJets
Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) represents the
professional interests of the pilots who fly in the service of
NetJets Aviation Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company (NYSE:
BRK).
The NJASAP Membership has issued a mandate,
re-electing incumbent president Capt. Pedro
Leroux with 80% of the vote.
During the 42-day balloting period, which concluded Monday, June 10 at 1300ET, approximately 76% of members eligible to
participate in the 2024 NJASAP Officer Election cast a ballot. Like
the record-setting number of votes cast in the 2024 Tentative
Agreement Referendum, which concluded in mid-April, Union members
came out in force with voter participation in the officer election
exceeding the historic average by 18.3%. The election was
administered and the results certified by the Union's long-time
partner BallotPoint Election Services.
As leader of the Pilots Unite Slate, Leroux ran with a group of
five advocates – one for each open officer position – comprised of
four long-tenured, incumbent candidates and a new member, Capt.
Clare Carey, who accepted employment
with NetJets in 2021. For each open officer position – president,
vice president, treasurer, secretary and trustee – the Pilots Unite
Slate candidates garnered approximately 80% of the vote.
"This was a remarkable showing of support and engagement by the
Membership," Capt. Pedro Leroux
said. "It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as an
elected NJASAP officer, and the Pilots Unite Slate is unreservedly
committed to working with the same tenacity and focus that has long
characterized our efforts to safeguard and to enhance NJASAP
members' interests."
The elected leaders' three-year terms in office will begin
July 1, 2024, and conclude on
June 30, 2027.
About the 2024 NJASAP Executive Board
President Capt. Pedro
Leroux was appointed to serve as NJASAP President in
late September 2014, and has
continued to serve in that capacity as the leader of the Pilots
Unite Slate since that time. A tireless advocate, Leroux has spent
more than two decades working to protect and to enhance the
interests of professional pilots. Since coming to NetJets in 2006,
Leroux has served as an NJASAP Compliance Committee member, System
Board of Adjustment chair and Lead Strategist.
Vice President Capt. Paulette
Gilbert became a Union advocate in 2009, when she
volunteered to serve as a Furlough Working Group volunteer. She
then accepted an invitation to serve as part of the NJASAP Strategy
Group to develop the NJASAPFamily Program. Not quite a year
later, she assumed leadership of the Strategy Group, and, in
December 2014, was appointed to serve
as an Executive Board member. As part of Leroux's Pilots Unite
Slate, she has served as NJASAP Vice President since 2015.
Treasurer Capt. Jason
Layman directs all aspects of the Association's
financial business. Soon after accepting employment with NetJets in
2006, he was appointed to serve as a Joint Reimbursement and
Compensation Committee member, putting his master's degree in
accounting to work for his fellow NJASAP pilots. An experienced
leader, Layman, has served as NJASAP's chief financial
administrator since 2014, becoming part of Leroux's Pilots Unite
Slate in 2015.
Secretary Capt. Paul Flynn
is one of NJASAP's most experienced advocates, serving not only as
an elected leader, but also the Negotiating Committee member
charged with overseeing data analysis. Flynn is also Government
Affairs Committee vice chair and an NJASAP Scheduling Committee
member. Hired by NetJets in late 2005, Flynn became a member of the
Pilots Unite Slate in 2021.
Trustee Capt. Clare Carey,
the newest addition to Pilots Unite, accepted a position with
NetJets in October 2021. At the end
of her probationary year, she wasted no time in pursuing an active
role as an NJASAP volunteer, beginning her advocacy as a Pilot to
Pilot Committee member. In early 2023, she was asked to serve as a
member of the Negotiating Committee, and she is currently the
youngest member of the NJASAP Stewards Council.
