Council 66 Pilots,

As you are aware, negotiations between ALPA and the Company are proceeding at a record pace. It appears a tentative agreement is quite possible in the very near future. Emphasis on possible. There are no guarantees when it comes to negotiations.

Recently, the company announced a large stock buyback program as part of its capital deployment strategy. This buyback shows the strength of Delta Air Lines and is, in no small part, a result of the sacrifices that this pilot group made years ago to help Delta get back on its feet and become the airline that it is today. It also reaffirms what we have said all along—the Company has ample resources to deliver the contract we expect and deserve.

We want to assure you the direction we are giving the negotiators and the MEC administration is to make sure we get it right and not sacrifice quality for expediency.

We will continue to fight on your behalf, with your direction as our guide.

Stay informed. Your continued input matters.

Fly safe,"
