I wonder this:

If the Local (BTW, it's the EBoard, fellas...stop calling it the EXCO) decides, "Hey, we're not putting this to the pilots for a vote," what happens?

The company sure as hell can't do anything about it because it's the IBT's constitution, not some federal procedural regulation or anything regulated by the RLA, so they have no cause for action.

I'd think that the membership would support the local blocking the company's underhanded move to circumvent them and their NC by taking such an action, so a DFR or impeachment should be unlikely.

If IBT national threatens to revoke their charter, BFD! National and some people at 1224 share a large portion of the blame for the current situation. F 'em! Hell, it's THEIR stupid constitution that left this avenue available for the company to exploit!

I know that this is uncharted territory, but does anyone have any thoughts on this?
