No, I don't have a problem with a unanimous rejection. I also don't have a problem with a unanimous acceptance.
The issues get discussed, they get debated and they there is a decision.
That is the process. There is no other constitutionally acceptable method.
If the company doesn't get their way, they will do one of two things:
1. Leak it and bypass the MEC
2. Negotiate directly with the pilots and bypass the MEC
The MEC needs to have balls and stand their ground based on logical and purposeful positions. If the company is serious and/or sincere, then they will re-attack it from another angle or sweeten the pot.
Different reps will reject something for different reasons. I've seen things unanimously rejected for 9 different reasons. 9 different points of view with similar but different concerns. It's cool.
