If the Express pilot group does not like the TA, they vote it down. If the ASA pilot group does not like the TA, they vote it down. We vote separately on the TA, not as a combined group.
Wrong. The pilot groups will never vote separately. The ASA MEC gets a vote, and the XJT MEC get one. If they both vote yes, the entire combined pilot group votes to ratify it, or send it back to the individual MECs
