It all depends on each pilots own unique situation, but.......

Not exactly......there's different limitations and paybacks depending on which Relocation Package you took (take) - Relo #1 (excess/bid to relieve excess), Relo #2, FDA Relo, ANC move (separate LOA) etc.
The paybacks for Relo #1 are NOT for the "entire amount of the move package"
For Relo #1 Pkg (Excessed or Bid to Relieve Excess)
CBA 6.B.4. = 12 month limitation - but NOT to repay the "entire amount of the move package" = only the amount of the
relocation allowance
....but.... (also in same CBA 6.B.4) if you're excessed or bid to relieve within 12 months - you don't get another entire Relo pkg - but you DO get to keep the relo allowance from the first relo in this case
also.....for Relo #1 (only)
CBA 6.B.7. = 18 month limitation - only applies if you physically move (again) outside 100 nm from your new domicile - OR - you leave the company
.....and.....in this case the payback is prorated (6.B.9.) - up through the first 12 months = 100% payback - month 13 = 33% payback & so on...
And besides........ALL this payback stuff is
VOID if you are entitled to another relocation package (ie. ANC Relo pkg) due to your subsequent bid award - both the 12 month limitations and the 18 month limitations
so, your example is not completely accurate

Haven't heard this.....highly doubt it.....why would you think "O" would have the ability/desire to circumvent the CBA?
Isn't he the one who said (paraphrasing) "Hey....we're not optimizing the schedules.....we're just abiding by the scheduling parameters that everyone agreed to in the contract..." "The Optimizer is a Myth"
