That's not "how it works." This is how it's supposed to work: Line pilots set the agenda and elect reps that agree with that agenda. Reps give specific direction to the negotiating committee. The negotiating committee follows that direction to the letter.

When this happens, support for the reps and NC is guaranteed. When this doesn't happen there is division and dysfunctionality because it's dangerous to support known non-compliance with member and reps direction. The blind support you advocate for couldn't be a worse suggestion.
