Mark McClain Bankruptcy Quotations

We feel that we can get a better settlement in negotiations voluntarily with Northwest management than we can get through the bankruptcy court,

We've been trying to stay out of bankruptcy for three years now.

We will not allow management's hired guns to use the bankruptcy process to take away essential job protections and outsource jobs we have offered to perform on a cost-competitive basis.

At this point, it is incumbent upon Northwest management to not squander our significant sacrifices, but to intelligently pursue a course that enables us to emerge from bankruptcy as a proud and profitable airline.
