Chris Chiames Pilot Quotations

We're gratified with the judge's order but clearly disappointed it has come to this. A majority of our pilots are doing their jobs and we hope the rest come back real soon.

Our preference is to reach a resolution with the pilots directly and not involve outside parties.

What we heard from the union negotiating team as well as individual pilots is that they didn't like the stock options part of the wage package. They are concerned about bottom line take-home pay. They didn't see that stock options helped them with that. We tried to address that concern by rearranging the deal, adding more of a structural wage increase in the package in exchange for the stock options.
