If you can provide some valid counterexamples perhaps my doubt will be eased.
Really? This is what you said:

That's a whole lot more than expressing doubt.
I'm surprised this would come from a regional guy like you. Pilots like you were here steadily seven years ago slamming pilots like me for giving up scope and imprisoning you to the regionals. Now you're here and explaining away the fact that we refused to fight a scope violation. Not a scope give away, a scope violation.

I can't think of a case in my career where there was a scope violation remedied by money. I'm certainly not privy to all scope violations, but it really doesn't matter. In an arbitration, it only matters what OUR precedent is, and we just set a new one.
