And if you complain too much, they'll tell you that you're a "malcontent" and that if you're so unhappy you should find something else to do for a living.
They won't actually come out and say it in so many words... but what they are really telling you is to not expect too much. Restoration? Forget it! It's not even a consideration by this MEC.

The first two sentences and the last paragraph of your OP sure does reek of not having any verifiable truth behind it, and I have never seen any facts/evidence to back up that members of the current MEC have that attitude.
Sooooo....If you wrote isn't factual then I use that quote as a fact, am I being factual or not?
In my personal experience, each time I've had a chance to address a rep regarding how bad the PWA is right now and that I had many provisions in my regional airline contract that were far superior to the DAL PWA, they agreed and they are not happy with the status quo either. When queried about the goals for the next PWA, it has been made abundantly clear that they will not determine the negotiating goals of the NC without the results from the contract survey. To do otherwise would be acting outside the will of the pilots.
STOP SPREADING RUMORS/LIES about what the MEC is aiming for!!!!
I don't know, you don't know, and they don't know what the opener will be yet!
Until the survey results are complied we do not know how much the pilots want in vague or specific terms, and
to spread rumors and commentary otherwise is disingenuous at best, an attempt to manage expectations, and at worst an effort to undermine the efforts of the MEC to put more money in our wallets and improve the lives of Delta Pilots.
