Malone has mentioned getting an agreement sometime "this summer" in nearly every communication since he was elected.
From the May 28 Chairman's Letter:
I continue to see a window of opportunity to reach a new tentative agreement this summer.
Here's from the May 2 letter:
We stand ready to help Mr. Bastian write the next chapter in Delta’s remarkable success story and are hopeful May 2, 2016 will bring a new sense of urgency to management to negotiate the contract we have earned. It is now our turn to fully reap the benefits of our deep sacrifices over the past 10 years and we remind management of our goal to obtain a strongly ratifiable agreement by the busy summer season.
I do not see a time limit in anything you posted. "Window of opportunity" is not an ultimatum by any stretch. A time limit is an ultimatum.
