No. The soft money increase is riding on the hope that the insane amount of fatigue calls dwindle so that they can pay less money for sell offs and fatigue calls, and money hooker crews will continue to fly tired and beaten for the extra pay, which will absolutely happen. Genius move by the company to reduce fatigue calls and reducing the reliance on sell offs.
This will end up further shrinking the company if anything. If you can move more owners by reducing recoveries and fatigue calls, the less airframes and pilots you need.
