Yes Carl they can. They can send anything outside of Section 6 to a vote or not. They via the policy manual can do what you state. If it is significant they are to send it to memrat, but you have a point. LOA 29 was huge and they did not even vote whether or not they wanted it to send it to MEMRAT. They discussed it briefly but never voted on it, and all of the these scheduling changes that we are now seeing, which were apparently from pilot input were TAed and ratified by only the reps. Same could happen here with a modification or extension.

I put forth a resolution last year that failed at the LEC level that worked to change this. Another pilot wrote another resolution at the next meeting and that one failed at the LEC level.

My point of the last posts on this subject was, they will not leave this on their shoulders. If they do, and it is anything short of full restoration, they will be overcome by events. I think they are aware of it.

In the end you are right and Bacon is right. They can. Sailing is correct that they will not. It would be downright stupid to do so, and I would not be surprised to see a few reps resign if they did.
