As I have spent more time with Section 1 and slept on the decision, I am coming around to a NO vote. It is my opinion our negotiators did an excellent job with the direction they were given, but the continuation, the Available Seat Mile growth at Delta Connection and carve out for Republic Airlines Holdings to compete directly with us (potentially from within SkyTeam) are concerns which outweigh the pay raises (even though the pay is needed if I am going to quit one of my other jobs).

I am fully aware that a no vote risks results which are not as good as currently presented. But, the Republic carve out was the last straw.
