Mr. Nicolai had served as the director designee of the Air Line Pilots Association (the “ALPA”). The ALPA, as the sole holder of record of one share of the Company’s Series D Special Preferred Stock, is entitled, under the Company’s Amended Bylaws, to nominate one director to the Company’s Board of Directors. On April 2, 2009, the ALPA notified the Company that it has nominated Duane Woerth, a former president of the ALPA, to serve as Mr. Nicolai’s successor.
