That is false; at least in the case of US carriers.
Who have honored theirs and offered attractive voluntary options; completely honoring their CBA. Including some very attractive early out options such that they can set their manning levels where desired and still comply with their CBA.
A CBA breach in terms of not following the terms delineated in the layoff and recall provisions would certainly be enforceable in this jurisdiction (either arbitration, court, or both) as well as many others. It is not a gray area.
