We think it's a fair and balanced agreement that meets the needs of both the company and the union.

The company is very disappointed that a fair and equitable agreement could not be reached. We believe we had a very attractive offer on the table, including annual wage increases, continued profit sharing, a signing bonus, benefits improvements, work-rule improvements and a job security proposal.

This agreement is another step Southern Company is taking to explore economical and reliable generating options and to preserve the nuclear power option for meeting future energy needs.

The agreement reached with ICANN really had removed whatever regulatory cloud had hung over the company.

The agreement includes equity transfer to the Kazakh company.

We were able to reach a fair and equitable agreement that met the needs of our pilots and supported the financial goals for our company. We look forward to obtaining ratification of the agreement and working with the entire World Airways team to continue the growth and success of the airline.
