Kirby's asks don't constitute that much of a loss or gain for either side..If you want to vote no because those things are worth more to you personally either now or in the future than what is being offered; that is a great reason to vote no--If you are voting no to retain these issues for some future leverage--again, I restate my original point--our leverage left the barn when the MTA was agreed to without immediate parity with Delta in pay and work rules......
