If 'all' they are asking for is 5%, what's the worst one could reasonably stand to lose at the hands of a bankruptcy judge?

I don't work there so I have no skin in the game, but this has been played out many times before...even at the regional level. And if BK is the best way to restructure the company financially, pilot concessions aren't going to do jack squat to prevent them from filing.
