Exactly. We gave away a gaggle of scope violating Gulfstreams at the private jet entity aropund 2 cycles ago. After a pathetic policy of hush hush deny deny deny and hope it goes away, that admin desperatly wanted to give it away for nothing and never had any intention to ever push for enforcement.
There was, thankfully, just enough vocal membership resistance that the issue was eventually forced and it was headed to a slam dunk, expensive and permanent cease and desist by any arbitrator anywhere and everyone knew it. Just before that inevitable smackdown though, it was slow walked and eventually rolled into the next CBA for free, allowing them to keep doing it forever.
It also happened during a time we were told we were overstaffed and "lucky we're not furloughing" over and over and over. When they gave it away for nothing, did we at least get flow down furlough protection in case we ever did? Nope. Non union pilots currently violating our scope had their jobs enshrined over ours permanently.
Now some want to try and normalize scope violations as no biggie and have even convinced themselves to sympathize with them.
