The remedy for scope non compliance is the written financial penalties in the contract(which there are none), or in certain circumstances, a merger with SLI.
I'll take my chances with an SLI. We would bury them. Loganville holdings all day, every day. In any case, they're not going to be a fake renamed DCI carrier with 77-160 seaters just because they scraped their fake little DCI certificate bumper sticker off and put a SkyTeam logo on the tail. If it was that easy it would have done a LONG time ago.
