If the union (or notable group of pilots) is shown to have ORGANIZED or COORDINATED the withdrawal of overtime, then sure. If not, then not dude.
The data is collected, but if there is no evidence (provable) of coordination, then there is nothing they can do with that data.

Don't get me wrong, based on your post history I could definitely believe you would say/think that is true...
It's not.

What you should have asked is: How many CBA negotiations concluded (eventually) with NO LAWSUIT filed by the company against the pilots/work group?
Read those two paragraphs again. And again. As many times as it takes until you understand.
JB's own CBA negotiations did in-fact conclude without a lawsuit, even though many pilots did eventually stop picking up overtime. Sure, several pilots did continue picking up overtime, many stopped.
The company had the data, but they didn't have enough evidence of a COORDINATED and/or ORGANIZED campaign.
You are talking about things you don't understand.

You are cherry picking the overwhelming MINORITY of CBA negotiations that had a lawsuit, and then taking it out of context to say that the same would happen simply because individual pilots decided they were no longer interested in flying overtime.
That is not the case.
