This is where I am still a little fuzzy about details. The way this sounds, each MEC has to vote yes? So it isn't a combined vote of all reps with the majority winning?
Next question. When we finally see a TA make it to the pilot groups, does each pilot group vote individually? I have been confused on whether each group has to vote it in or if we total all the votes and 50% had to say yes?
