Soaper is not capable of negotiating a new contract or run ABX....that is why he was hired. Out of work and cheap/available. The byproduct of those qualities has been dragging

I want to see full retro + 2%. That is the only way to stop this BS.

I understand that it rewards the *****s. I don't care! I have never picked up an opentime trip. Nor will I ever. This is about making sure the next contract gets signed when its due.

I agree Soaper is doing exactly what they hired him for....he is not capable of negotiating a contract or run an airline. By default those qualities result in the contact being dragged out and business going away. He was out of work (fired) and available cheap. Perfect empty suit.

Soaper sounds like another Frank Lorenzo, a guy who treated pilots like slaves.

He’s worse. Lorenzo was a management hitman operating airlines like a hedge fund manager. Soapy is one of us and attacking his own. Soapy is a pilot acting like a wannabe Lorenzo.
