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