Gerald Grinstein Help Quotations

It remains our strong preference to reach a consensual agreement that is equitable and that helps Delta realize the cost reductions that will enable it to survive and to successfully restructure. I believe these are not mutually exclusive goals and, in the best interest of the company and everyone concerned, we will proceed in good faith in an attempt to realize them.

Given the critical nature of our financial situation, this provides much needed financial relief while we seek to reach a comprehensive agreement with ALPA. We greatly appreciate the additional sacrifices Delta employees - including our pilots - are making to help save the company. Working together, everyone's efforts are contributing to the operational progress and network improvements being made under the company's transformation plan.

All Delta employees have made significant contributions to help Delta succeed, and they continue to demonstrate a level of professionalism and dedication unrivaled in this industry. Thanks to everyone's sacrifice and continued focus on taking good care of our customers, coupled with the network and revenue improvements we are making, we are delivering real results. We have a solid plan for the future; one that holds great opportunity for all Delta people.

This is a reflection of a shared commitment to work together to help deliver the cost savings the company needs to successfully emerge from bankruptcy and to become the fierce competitor we know we can be. Together we are making real progress on our business plan and this agreement represents an important piece of our restructuring puzzle. It also represents additional hardship for our pilots and I appreciate their consideration of something that is vitally important to the future of this company.
