No arbitrator would ever side with the association over a pilot who occasionally does S/As for recruiting purposes.
According to Varsity, Swayne is violating the contract according to Section 24. Arbitrators don't care if the contract is violated only occasionally. A violation is a violation. I have had grievances filed for as little as 4 minutes of flight time and won.
Either Swayne is violating the contract or he isn't. If he is, then there is no excuse why ALPA would allow it to continue.
