without member consultation?!? Oh please. What part of the word “Representatives” do you not understand. They have effected an outcome which is better than expected given the circumstances thrust onto the pilot body by the company. To expect them to come to a group vote every time they need to make a decision is ludicrous and impractical and you know it.
