Narrative:
These operations pages list the MEA from che direct cys as 15000 ft. Looking at united states lo 9, a direct route from che to cys goes through grid MEA's of 14.7, 15.1, and 16.6. Staying at the stated 15000 ft could be hazardous to your health. I would recommend changing this company published MEA to 17000 ft on the stated pages as soon as possible.
