I don't understand, can you expand on this a bit?

I honestly expect little to nothing from the PVC (no offense to them) because they don't have a way to make any changes to our working conditions. It is like asking a mechanic to fix your car without any parts or tools.

I expect everything from our ELT. They have advanced educations in business management, have held high level positions in airlines previously(even ones who worked their way up the chain), and have the ability to make changes to our working conditions by a simple email and rewrite of a policy.
