The "With or without you" red letter was November 17, 1998, as MD11Fr8Dog stated. However, the first "red letter" was November 16, 1995. The message was the same, even if not as concise:
"We fully intend to continue to provide our services to customers during the self-help period.
We hope we can depend on the personal support of each employee--including our pilots--as we continue to seek a balanced and mutually beneficial agreement. Clearly, not all of our pilots agree with ALPA's confrontational tactics and all employees should be careful not to generalize about how "all pilots" may feel about this process. In fact, the vast majority of our pilots have continued to serve our customers through volunteering and overtime flying during the negotiating period, and we greatly appreciate their loyalty and support. You should also understand that our resolve is strong and we intend to use all available options under the rules of the Railway Labor Act for any pilot who chooses to engage in job actions. "
