Did anyone get an Offer from AirOps for editorial work? If so, what was your experience? How was your onboarding, and did you get paid?

My concern is not that one isolated message violated Upwork’s policies. It concerns the complete hiring and onboarding sequence:

• AirOps recruited me directly for approximately 20 hours per week for one month.
• AirOps offered and established the $50 hourly rate.
• I accepted the contract, reserved the requested capacity, signed its NDA and completed its external onboarding.
• AirOps told me assignments would begin the following week.
• AirOps never assigned me any paid work.
• I was enrolled in Slack and AirOps trials and began receiving AirOps product marketing after onboarding.
• AirOps later announced that assignments would be ad hoc.
• Slack disconnected the external editing channel when the trial ended and instructed me to upgrade to reconnect.
• AirOps ended my contract two days later.
• AirOps now says no payment was required and that it could reconnect editors without Slack Pro.
• AirOps also says it lacked sufficient work for someone of my “skillset and price range,” even though it recruited me and set that rate.

I’ve asked Upwork to review whether AirOps:

1. Had confirmed paid work when it recruited multiple editors;
2. Created speculative contracts to build an unpaid contractor bench;
3. Accurately represented the anticipated 20-hour-per-week workload;
4. Used contractor onboarding to funnel freelancers into its product, community or marketing ecosystem; and
5. Disclosed the external platform access requirements accurately.

Every time I log in to Upwork, Cloudflare is blocking me. If after several attempts I'm able to login, It blocks my proposals. I've reported this over a year ago to Upwork, they don't seem to know how to fix it. I've used several different browsers.
