You're right in the sense that it's not a power struggle because and I'm sure you know this contractors have no power or control over their fate as contractors. You guys all laughed when I said years ago that in the RPS/FXG "independent contractor" model the ONLY real independence is the opportunity to decide independently when to quit which for you guys should have been 3 years ago. Even for Spence Patton that's all he's got because his fate is also in the hands of somebody else.You keep talking about this as if it’s supposed to be a power struggle.
It’s not. It’s a sober analysis of a situation that is bad, getting worse, unsustainable, and should be of paramount interest to investors and customers.
If they do not address the model, it will implode. It’s not a threat. It’s just facts. If they are ok with it, then so be it.
And yes, the only effective solution to this impossible situation would be total system collapse allowing for the construction of a entirely new transportation network. Only this time done the right way.
