You would be wrong. The times I’ve seen that happen the MEC knew damn well what the membership was thinking and exactly how split that membership was, hence my earlier allusion to a divided pilot group.
Couple that with pressure from mediators and pilots who think they should ALWAYS get to vote on ANY agreement the NC comes up with and the decision gets a little more complicated.
