Lee Moak Management Quotations

We didn't oppose the motion to void the stock options because they were worthless once management forced the company into bankruptcy anyway.

If management succeeds in rejecting our contract, we will strike, and we will strike at a time and place of our choosing. It's truly an act of self-defense.

Delta pilots continue to negotiate. But the management team has still not moved from their $325 million figure other than cosmetically.

All along, our biggest problem has been that the management team did not recognize that a 50 percent pay cut in a year and a termination of their pension plan ... if that wasn't enough to be the tipping point, I don't know what is. So, I believe that they (Delta management) recognized that.

What passengers should do in mid-April is to fly Delta Air Lines. I believe reasonable members of senior management will take control of this situation and we will get a settlement.

This response is an act of self-defense against a Delta management that seems intent on rejecting our contract.

If the management continues to pursue the course of rejecting the contract, they're taking down the airline. Our lawyers tell us we can strike, we prepared for a strike, we will strike.

Faced with this management onslaught our only choice is self defense. We must defend the concept of the pilot working agreement itself. All legal means will be considered.

We remain committed to a consensual agreement, but we just have seen no movement. At this moment, management has refused to negotiate. They are still at $325 million.

Unwilling to achieve a mutually agreeable solution through negotiations, their 1113 filing amounts to nothing less than an attempt to bully us into compliance. Management is letting their own unyielding and unreasonable demands dictate a path toward confrontation and further failure.
