(1)The timing of these commitments is based on our contractual agreements with the aircraft manufacturers and remains uncertain due to supply chain, manufacturing and regulatory constraints. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we were notified that certain aircraft deliveries would be delayed from 2026 into future years. These new delivery dates are reflected in the table above. Our future aircraft purchase commitments included the following aircraft at September 30, 2025:

Legal Contingencies We are involved in various legal proceedings related to employment practices, environmental issues, commercial disputes, antitrust and other regulatory matters concerning our business. We record liabilities for losses from legal proceedings when we determine that it is probable that the outcome in a legal proceeding will be unfavorable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcome of the legal proceedings in which we are involved cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of current matters will not have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Employees Under Collective Bargaining Agreements During the September 2025 quarter, we amended our collective bargaining agreement with the Delta Flight Superintendents (Dispatchers) represented by PAFCA. This new agreement covers approximately 500 employees and becomes amendable beginning August 1, 2030.
