I agree with your concerns and also agree that the penalties for non compliance are woefully inadequate. However it seems you're advocating for selling the jobs as long as we get said gains. IMO that's the wrong strategy. In doing so, all we do is add pressure to help push more jobs out.

If we grant relief in any area for supposed gains in another area WRT scope, we need to write in massive penalties. We can and we have before. The contractual penalties of making them pull seats out of 76 seat 90 seaters and forcing Compass to park all their planes and/or a catastrophic 100% bump and flush (both ways in a short period of time) were both extremely effective deterrents to various MBA shenanigans post merger.

We don't need to sell jobs for gains. We need to protect jobs and add in massive penalties for non compliance.
