If the committee eventually reaches an overall tentative agreement with Delta management, it will be presented to the MEC for deliberation and a ratification vote. If ratified by the MEC, it will then be presented to the Delta pilots for membership ratification.

Carl,
Again, you don't know how this works. The voting members of the MEC are made up of the Captain and First O reps of each LEC. That means that the Captain rep for the LEC for DTW is the voting member of the MEC. They are the VOTING members of the MEC.
One more time. The MEC chairman, vice chair, sec-treas, negotiating chair do not get votes. The LEC reps, from each domicile, the guys you vote for, who answer your calls and e-mails, and represent you in the chief Pilot's office when you're in trouble, who make up the VOTING members of the MEC, vote as to whether or not to put a TA out for a vote.
