        <footnote id="F1">This Warrant was reported on Delta's Form 3 on May 26, 2004.  This filing is intended to confirm the setting of the exercise price of the Warrant at $12.35 per share upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering of common stock (IPO) .  Delta acquired this Warrant on June 7, 2002, when it entered into a contract carrier agreement with Chautauqua Airlines, Inc. (Chautauqua), a regional air carrier that is a subsidiary of the Issuer and the Warrant became exercisable upon the consummation of the IPO.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This Warrant was reported on Delta's Form 3 on May 26, 2004. This filing is intended to confirm the setting of the exercise price of the Warrant at $13.00 per share.  From the date of grant, the Warrant was exercisable for $12.50 per share of common stock if exercised prior to the consummation of the Issuer's IPO.  Because the Warrant was not exercised prior to the consummation of the Issuer's IPO, it is now exercisable at the IPO price of $13.00 per share.  Delta acquired this Warrant on February 7, 2003, when the connection carrier agreement with Chautauqua (see Note 1, above) was amended to increase the number of aircraft to be operated by Chautauqua.</footnote>

Because the Warrant was not exercised prior to the consummation of the Issuer's IPO, it is now exercisable at 95% of the IPO price, or $12.35 per share.
