Let's review.
Your guys voted yes and tried to sell the failed TA as if their lives depended on it.
The No voters on the MEC led the charge to reject the deal.
We achieved hundreds of millions more.
How is that not delivering by Captain Bartels and Captain Brielmann?
Those 2 and the brave pilots who stood with them put hundreds of thousands in your pocket.

Hence, the system worked. The job of the union is not to sell an agreement but to listen to the pilots demands. Testing the limits ensures the best possible deal.

Really? He told you that? Or, he wrote a memoir about his magical rise to Delta MEC Chairman, already?
If it's none of the above, where are you getting your information?

Stick with Hanson and Cook and Nestor. Give all the extra money back to the company.

The problem is the person we now have in charge has never delivered the goods or produced good outcomes. Even his letters and predictions have all proved basically false over time and he has a history of putting politics ahead of pilots. None of this has any real effect for more senior pilots. I feel sorry for the damage that could befall the bottom two thirds of the list over time.
2) The bottom 2/3rds of the seniority will be the bottom 2/3rds for a fraction of the time that you and I were in that position. Like it or not, that movement will affect their perspective on things. Book it.

Straight from Bartels in the pilot lounge after the DTW roadshow. You can also reread his communications on the subject. If you have any doubts after that ask him.

Over 4000 of us have been in the bottom 2/3 between 15-20 years. Is that really a fraction of your time there?
