The rest of your reply, including where you told me I was wrong, has been refuted by others in this conversation. Additionally, I never said the MEC chair had no influence. I said his position was largely titular. Not the same thing.
Since you came looking for it, here’s some patronization, some might call it helpful advice - you would do well to spend more time in the receive mode vs transmit.

You would do well to learn this.

Answer is, they can’t unless they have direction from the MEC. It was the MEC that held the line. Anyone in the same spot would have been directed to do the same thing.
The top down, Chairman is the Captain of the Ship thing departed the pattern with LM, and a stake was put through its heart after TA1. These days the position is basically an office manager.

According to one of my reps in C1, it was not a difficult decision. "Company man" and "Surrender monkey" are just plain wrong. The only negative comment I could dynamite out of him was "Sometimes RS didn't seem to work hard on things he didn't like, but was told to do"
I trust my reps.
