Delta passengers can continue to book on Delta with confidence. There has been no disruption to our service. Our pilots are performing professionally, flying as scheduled, and together with all Delta employees, are taking good care of our customers. |
I don?t know if that helps or hurts our success. |
I worry about whether our proposal is aggressive enough. |
I'm sure there is some influence on our customers in a marginal way. |
In my opinion it (the cost reduction plan) is absolutely necessary. |
Losses of the magnitude that Delta recorded in 2005 are not sustainable. |
These losses emphasize the need for the urgency with which we have to pursue route network and revenue improvements and the use of the bankruptcy process to reduce the cost and complexity of our business. |
We agreed to reduce our proposal and make improvements to the overall package recognizing the likelihood the pilot pension plan would be terminated. |
We are in an intensely competitive industry. There is excess capacity. Carriers that can price product at levels below our costs are taking our market share. Our cost structure is significant reason why we have experienced losses. |
We are pursuing every opportunity to reduce our costs in order to give Delta the best chance to successfully restructure. |
We have worked hard together as a team to forge an agreement that is good for Delta and all of its constituents. |
We're hoping to be able to get back to the table. I would hope in the next few days we could start. |
While masked by the high cost of fuel, our restructuring initiatives have begun to produce tangible results this quarter in the form of increased unit revenue and lower mainline non-fuel costs. |
While we are pleased with the level of post-petition financing we were able to obtain, we must stop using borrowed money to fund our losses. |
