Ironic ... you've suggested that pilots quit, haven't you?
None the less, I agree with your point.
Those who have stagnated at the bottom, some of whom are considering looking elsewhere for employment (despite the fact Delta is a wonderful place to be) are desperate for any good news. That is how their priorities get screwed up. I don't condone Fartbox's antagonism on the subject, but with yet another displacement coming up, I sure do understand it.

People on the bottom of the list should be thankful they weren't at Comair, or aren't at GoJets, or weren't at Colgan, or aren't at Pinnacle. I can understand people getting frustrated and how they can get desperate for the smallest morsel of good news, but I see this most from people who don't truly understand how awful this industry can be. A junior DAL FOs QOL is likely better than that of even the most senior pilots in the regional world. I would hazard a guess that the plug here gets more days off than at least 75% of all the RJ drivers out there.
Granted our situation isn't great, and it may not be for a while, and the actual 5 year plan would be really cool to see, but we aren't paid to plan - we're paid to fly and gossip. So if we aren't giving orders, we're taking them - and when the CO orders you to not run to social media with something (not sure if RA directly did or not - but for the sake of the company's reaction lets say he did) - then you don't. Let the leaks come as they may - and they will come. But don't disobey orders - even if you feel entitled to do so under the guise of anonymity. See - getting paid to gossip.

It was nice to hear at the time though, I'll grant that much.
