Exactly my point. ALPA still would have gotten the change they wanted, but the MEC could have demonstrated it's resolve to go with what the majority clearly indicated it wanted. This wouldn't have weakened ALPA's capabilities one bit as they moved onto the next hurdle of trying to help formulate the legislation. FYI - The Executive Board was briefed on the results of the surveys on Tuesday...they clearly knew all of the numbers before the voting took place.
