Details: Las Vegas-based Vision Airlines flew flights under U.S. government contract, utilizing its fleet of 737s and 767s, to transport goods and personnel into Iraq and Afghanistan from 2005 to 2012 during the U.S. conflicts in the Middle East. The charter airline received hazard pay as part of its estimated $500 million worth of contracts with the U.S. government, plaintiffs say.
In 2009, Texas pilot Gerald Hester filed a class-action suit in Las Vegas federal court on behalf of all pilots and flight attendants who worked on these lengthy flights, claiming unjust enrichment and that Vision pocketed their employees’ portion of the hazard pay.
