Is that the same 3/4 majority of pilots that overwhelmingly told their reps to vote against the first deal before they decided to vote them out of office for doing so?

Not quite so simplified. The situation was more like this. The pilots that let their voices be heard, whether it be by email, text, voice, what have you, overwhelmingly told the reps to send it back. It kind of makes perfect sense. These were the guys that were most ****ed about how bad the first offer was so logically they're the ones that wanted to voice their opinions the most.
The reps simply listened to the pilots that actually bothered to let their voices be heard. The majority of those were telling them to shove the POS back across the table. They followed the bylaws and didn't do anything wrong. The lawsuit is completely frivolous. The pilots involved in it collectively should have spoken up more.
