Just as the company has chosen to intentionally violate our contract for a price, the same can be said about this.

Precedent says he’ll get away with it for a while (category dependent), eventually get caught, likely get fired, then get his job back within a year or so. Pilots in certain situations (close to retirement, looking for more time at home) may come out ahead.

It may sound ridiculous, but it’s the same type of thinking that management is employing in its decisions to violate certain sections of the PWA.
