Not legalities, ever. And it is sad that the abuse gets to such a level that individuals are put in a position of actually negotiating one-on-one, as grievances seem to go nowhere and the contract doesn't protect the pilot.
But it's nice to hear that some captains have actually said "enough" on some the QOL and pay issues, like the engine runs, and told them to pay fairly for work done. 15 minutes of pay for an engine run? It takes 30 minutes just to get the conference call and authorization paperwork done. He should have been in the hotel by now.
