If this reflects DALPA's stance on restoration, then it is an easy choice for me and probably many, many more here.
ACL, you were hired here in 07/08 if I recollect correctly. I must say, your view and that of those that experienced the losses associated with BK are more than likely diametrically different.
Not being disrespectful, but I am guessing that coming from a regional carrier to DAL after BK was wrapped up gives you a completely different perspective than one experienced by a dead zoner. That dead zoner is going to be more inclined to seek restoration. It is a business decision for that pilot. I can also see where coming in late in the game and being near the bottom of the SL, it might also be a business decison for you to take the safe "wait til inflation catches up" stance and don't rock the boat.
Try to see it from the position of those that actually lost in BK. Match that with the current position or non position from DALPA . Now maybe you can see why the natives are beyond restless.
