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.
Shiz, it's pretty simple. If this MEC had restoration as their objective, they would talk about it! It doesn't have to be super specific. The contract survey can fill in the blanks there. Just let us know that you're trying to get our profession and our careers back on track and that you understand that we have NOT accepted our current situation as some new "baseline" from which we should expect traditional improvements.

It is my opinion that restoration is not the objective of this MEC. Can you provide any quotes/facts that would indicate otherwise? And BTW, your reps by themselves do not count. Unless you have those reps telling you that this is the objective of the majority of the MEC. I'll be surprised if you have any quotes indicating this... but it would be a pleasant surprise nonetheless! Let's see them if you've got them!
