John Culp Management Quotations

We were interested and committed to bridging this gap. ... But management was clearly not committed to the process.

The pilots are telling us they are extremely disappointed in Delta management and are tired of listening to management?s demands.

We will continue to communicate with management and seek a negotiated comprehensive agreement rather than accepting their imposed terms.

We absolutely think that we can get a deal done if management is serious about reaching a comprehensive agreement.

Whether or not to proceed down that path, that decision will be made by the representatives of the pilots and it's just another piece of an overall strategy we will use to convince management to negotiate toward a consensual agreement.

Not a clue. We know there's a great deal of anger out there with the way management has conducted themselves and the state of the business. We have absolutely no inkling how the vote will go.

It's not something we enjoy doing but we feel management has taken a turn for the worse in the last several years. We're in constant negotiations, but their demands are egregious.

It's always been the pilots' goal to work with management and to try and seek a consensual agreement that would try to satisfy the parties' needs. This is a path they have chosen; it's not a path we'd prefer.
