I'm sure that's the way it played out at Delta, CO, UA, US, TWA, Pan Am, Branniff, Eastern. I know I've missed a couple of other airlines that have been down that path. Can someone here show factually at which of those carriers, the labor groups came out ahead with a better compensation package than they entered BK with? Name just one!
Let me make this clear:
They want to dump their portion of pension liability. Yours and every other employees as well. Wake up. It happened at USAir, United, Delta and to an extent Northwest.
It is also happening all across America.
That being said:
Why give them more than one bite at the apple?
Anything they can secure prior to going into BK and 1113 is icing on the cake. Anything they attain while dropping 1113 on you in addition to shedding their pension liabilities is even more icing for them.
Read up on Hawaiian's trip through
for the right way as employees to deal with this.
