If we want vigorous non-monetary penalties for violation of scope, I think those penalties are going to have to be written into the contract language.
Don't take it personally. For some here it's much more about making ALPA/DALPA look bad than the issue itself. Whatever happens it''s too little too late and when we get a great TA they'll try and take credit for it instead of the people really doing the work for us. The agenda is discredit ALPA at every possible juncture.
