"F consensus building" = "worrying about your job security when the pension bump of a few hundred is on the line is unconscionable"

"purge everyone who doesn't agree with you" = push a ****ty TA through fast so that over 700 pilots, more than 10% of the pilot group, of which 8 out of 10 will vote no, can't vote on it.

"ignore all advice and run headfirst into the brick wall." = exactly what they did despite the pilot group pushing the MEC to not send us a ****ty concessionary TA. They ignored all advice, ran into a brick wall and sent it to us anyway. Then we told them to cancel the vote once we saw how horrible it was, they ignored all advice, ran into a brick wall and kept the vote on anyway. Then we voted no and told them to step down, they ignored all advice and ran into a brick wall and wasted time for us and didn't resign. Then we recalled them, and then they continued to ignore all advice and kept trying to ram us into a brick wall with TA 1.1 and delaying the seating of some of their replacements.

The fact of the matter is that your leaders that you love were not only wrong but also completely inept, and your continued loyalty to them is only damaging your chances of ever seeing a TA before your retirement date comes along.
