Didn't UAL in 2000ish also not fly historic amounts of OT? An injunction can't force random people to pick up random trips at whatever random times to force reverse engineer future results to be identical to past results; that's not even possible.
Some airlines have gotten maintenence/write up injunctions against their pilots in the past. The result of something like that is "no illegal write ups" which is always the case anyway. When airlines attempt to hold the pilot group at large, or individual pilots in particular, to the "historic number of write ups" that is 100% unenforceable on its own.
There cannot be an organized effort against permissable OT or for frivolous write ups etc, nor can there be an organized or individual effort of intimidation regarding it. But no order can force a large pilot group or individual pilots to an OT quota for OT that is optional per pick up. Anyone claiming that's what happened doesn't know what they're talking about.
