It isn't a simple as that. The majority vote works if the company can get away with something by giving it to the majority of pilots who won't care about anything else. Think of it as single issue voting. Where that falls short or should, at a union carrier is where management doesn't have that golden egg... Problem with all pilots, is that we are money hungry so as soon as we see dollar signs, we tend to forget the minutia.
There is a reason why NJASAP has avoided section 6, and signs very long contracts. I know they work hard, and they are a valuable asset to the pilot group, but they are not nearly as powerful at negotiating as a mainline ALPA negotiating committee.
