The bonanza in soft money isn't quite what was alluded to at the expos.
What am I leaving out?
What is IBB?
A method that appears to negotiate in good faith, where the company and labor appear to have the same goals, where a slightly “cost plus” agreement under a variable cost structure is framed in the company’s interest.
What is NJASAP?
An organization that appears to operate as a labor union, but in reality is managed by a toxic group of management supporting sycophants, appearing to act in the pilot’s best interest.

NJA is probably one of the most successful companies in aviation, flying around the wealthiest people in the world.
No money available for increased pilot compensation? Really?
NJA pilots deserve the best. The money is there, but you will all have to fight for it.
