If the TA fails MEC, will we be able to see it?

And you've already lost if your metric for success is AA. Why even have a survey if you aren't going to measure a TA against THAT and against what is fiscally possible/reasonable given THIS pilot group's work and sacrifices?
I agree. If the TA was at least a double, we'd be hearing the good. Not so much.

I wouldn't think so, but I really don't know. It wouldn't make sense for them to release that because the NC would be going back in with that as a starting point. Who knows though?

What bad have we heard other than what is being made up?

We get to see it Tuesday.
The meeting to debate the TA is going to be in open session.

I guess this from Council 1:

While the meeting was productive, we are beginning to see a conflict between the process (mentioned above), the record pace of negotiations, and parochial (third rail) issues the line pilots advised us to avoid. As we stated in last update, “Certainly we are ready, willing, and able to work with management to address areas of mutual concern; however, we don’t need to rush, and they should not over-reach.” At this juncture we are seeing more over-reaching from the company and less addressing of our pilots’ issues.
What I wish I was hearing was rumors that it is really good. I hope it is.

If it were "good", we'd hear. People want to pass good news and this could be done without details.

A little light "tea leaf" reading for you. FACTUAL, non rumor based..

From DALPA Council 1 updates:

"The Delta MEC held a special meeting May 19-20 at the Westin Hotel in Atlanta. The special
meeting was to ensure that the direction we have given the Negotiating Committee is clear.
For whatever reason, the committee seems to resist any significant amount of redirection
away from the paths that they deem appropriate, and we continue to struggle to keep the
MEC’s direction in line with your goals and expectations—a major part of the process."

"While the meeting was productive, we did encounter some
issues related to our dual goals of “on time” and “on target,” also known as the
process. Both are stated goals of the MEC, but we are beginning to see the potential
conflict between the two with your reps feeling the need to slow the process down a
bit. As we are still well ahead of the on-time goal, we must continue to ensure that
the on-target goal is met."

This one I am paraphrasing since I can't remember where I read it...
"management's shopping cart is getting full, ours not so much.."
