This is a flagrant violation of FTL's. Clearly for the purpose of not hiring more pilots. (Maybe no one applied!)
Plank Cap, I think you hit the solution already. Get the regulators in destination states to blacklist the airline until back in line.
As an aside, a previous employer tried to push an 8 hour positioning flight as 'rest period', to then operate an 8 hr flight. F***ing amazing.
