The MEC does not vote on an AIP....in fact, there isn't just one AIP. Each section of the contract is AIP'd once both sides agree in principal to the content.
The the lawyers adds the legalese to each section. When all the AIP'd sections have the legal language, then combined those AIP's are the TA.
Per DALPA policy manual the MEC gets to review the TA for 7 days. Then and only then does the MEC actually vote, and if it passes, it goes to the pilots for MEMRAT.
Policy manual also states a 60 day window to allow for road shows and then actual voting, but that can be reduced to no less than 45 days by MEC majority vote.
