Netjets (NTA) Aerotoxic Incident. Pilot Jobless.
Approximately three years ago a NTA (Netjets Europe) crew were subjected to fumes in the cockpit. One of the pilots reported symptoms conducive to aerotoxic syndrome and despite extensive treatment has been unable to fly since.
Today it was announced that their insurers UNUM (also a Berkshire Hathaway company) would not support his claim of permanent disability, NTA management refused to support him in an appeal against this decision. He has received no income since the end of last summer, has a family to support yet is unable to work.
