Special Update
March 16, 2020

Brothers and Sisters,

Last evening, (March 15th) the company held a conference call with leaders of each
union. The outlook has degraded considerably over the last couple of days and looks to
continue to get worse for months to come.
The company laid out their plan for officer and management compensation and asked
that we all share in helping the company through this unprecedented rough period.
However, many of us have been through tough times in the airline industry. The nature
of the industry has always been cyclical. Recession, terrorist attacks and disease are
always waiting around the corner.
At this time, to even enter discussions designed to ensure the company's survival, there
must be commitments made that any sacrifice will be repaid when this pandemic
passes. Until there are such commitments, we are not prepared to discuss amendments
to the collective bargaining agreement.

In Solidarity,
