If true, I think settling for cash is a mistake. We need a permanent improvement to the PWA like 5:15 per vacation day.

We also need them to be in compliance going forward.

And the new scope language needs to have a 12 month limit to any future noncompliance and specific and immediate penalties. I.e. 6 hours per vacation day until back in compliance.

The penalty needs to be painful enough to make them want to fight to get back in compliance.

This violation caused many jobs and promotions. Selling scope for money is a VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE.

How can we settle something when the violation has yet to occur? Another strike by the AF pilots next quarter and the company might well be in compliance. Usually settlements occur after the violation.
