I expect them to lose some work rules, scope, and have their retirement modified. They will come out much better than they would have if they passed that TA. Delta pilots live in fear of the unknown. Alfaromeo's post proves this.
I believe you are incorrect and Alfa is correct.
The Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code is titled "Rejection of Collective Bargaining Agreements" because this code ultimately is the provision through which a company (a "debtor") may seek to reject a Contract.
The judge will most likely reject the contract, that's what the motion calls for and the company will impose terms. Doubt they will be better than offered through negotiations. Airlines labor rarely escapes BK with an industry standard contract.
