It clearly says in Seham's letter to Caplinger that "If ALPA filed for bankruptcy protection, the plaintiffs in the TWA lawsuit would become unsecured creditors, whose recovery would depend on the amount of assets held by ALPA and the number of creditors. In most bankruptcies, unsecured creditors do not recover 100% of their claim."
Caplinger (DPA) says ALPA confirmed we won't pay and his lawyer says that if ALPA filed for bankruptcy that the TWA pilots wouldn't get paid.
Why are we still trying to scare the Delta pilots?
It really is comforting to know that ALPA (who was proven to not meet their representational responsibilities with TWA) Isn't going to pay damages through a bankruptcy filing.
I feel so comforted by this news. Thank you for sharing it.
