So, Why has mgmt cancelled vacations when they can just pay these charters to fly the uncovered schedules?

Simple. They hate employees and will screw them over every chance they get. Pure vindictiveness. Nothing more.

I agree. I believe the August vacation cancellation was just to **** us off. Let's be real; did they really need to cancel 140 pilots vacations? No way. How about cancel 25, that would have lightened up the open time. But 140!? It was a pure F U to us

Haven’t more planes been out of service this summer than planned?

Not sure, but the company is cheap and not willing to give flying to another carrier unless it’s an absolute last resort. If they have aircraft and pilots to fly them, they will do everything within their legal power to complete flights in house before giving away revenue. Secondly, ALPA has defended these actions in the past stating the company was not in violation of our contract when exercising this option due to extenuating circumstances. Not that it would have stopped them but I don’t think the company would have received ALPA’s blessing this summer and I’m sure ALPA had a few legal avenues they could have pursued to make it less lucrative for the company if a contract violation did occur.
