The Pinnacle re-org was an integral part of Delta's plan to restructure the DCI feed. With Delta's new found resources they could have continued to beat us into submission after a "no" vote. I voted "Yes" simply because I knew what Delta could do, and I did not want to see my fellow pilots go through that type of turmoil. Doing bad things to Pinnacle pilots to set an example wouldn't destroy their business like doing that stuff to you mainline guys would.
