Yikes PG, that's a pretty bad misreading of reality.
The reps' vote on TA2012 was to send it out to the members for a vote. Their votes were not yea or nay on the merits of TA2012.

Again, their votes were only to send it out to the members for a vote. I'm a big believer in sending everything out for memory rat.
But were it not for that huge pressure/sales campaign by the MEC administrators, I strongly believe that TA would have been voted down by the members. I can't prove that any more than you can prove otherwise, but it's very disingenuous of you to infer that TA2012 represented the will of the pilots because of the yes votes. In many cases, the yes votes represented pilots feeling they had to vote between two horrible choices.
