This should terrify all of us. The fox is in the henhouse and our MEC chairman supports it.

Contract violations?
Scheduling is definitely behind the power curve but contract violations hasn’t been my experience. December and January, however, resulted in 4 Greenslips in a row. I’m good with that. Filled the 401k in one check. Bring it on.

Ok. Does the same apply to Scope? Just let them violate it and get paid later?
The majority of the posts I have seen over the years say we want them to “honor the contract” and “stop illegal reroutes” and “they were not supposed to do that to me.”
We need to be consistent. Do we want them to honor the contract (QOL) or are we ok just getting paid off for not doing it?

Edit: and what I mean by punitive is that the 'balance' of what has been violated should come to our side of the ledger, immediately.... and that should be permanent.

We already have a good example of this, and have for years. It's called PBS. The company staffs the airline, publishes the bid packages and runs PBS.
THEN they pass the preliminary bid awards to ALPA for review and approval. Often times ALPA will reject the bid run and say "do over." Eventually all awards are approved and posted.
Using the logic of the naysayers, we should just let the company run whatever PBS solution they wish, tell the pilots to eat the sh!t sandwich, then do a post award review and award penalty pay to any pilot harmed through a bad award.
No thanks. I'd rather have a better life on a constant basis, than perhaps get an occasional bonus payment (weeks or months later) amidst scheduling shortcomings. If ALPA is part of a greater overall operation, that's not a bad thing either.
