Gerald Grinstein Additional Quotations

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.

We have to recognize this is not going to be a painless process. There will be additional layoffs ... There is going to be some pay pain. There will be increased work burdens.

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.
