The MEC has a mandate and pilot expectation to deliver. Any sub par AIP will be highly scrutinized and with a 9 to 8 majority a robust con paper and debate could easily swing a single vote, however MEMRAT will prevail. This is the best ever environment for section 6 in my career and that of anyone I know. The unwashed masses will see to this PWA being epic. I have no doubt.
