The company has never recalled pilots because pilots refused to fly, and if all of a sudden pilots stopped doing PPU, they would take ALPA to court for violating the status quo.
PPU is not a 'get' for the pilot group; it is a 'get' for management. It is much cheaper to pay premium than to cancel a flight.
