I'll bet that would be a huge no-go item for the company
I don't think Delta has to do anything "abusive" of ERISA to trigger a PBGC decision to restore the pension. They can do it at their discretion. As long as the decision to do so is not arbitrary or capricious.
It might be worth exploring efforts to convince the PBGC that Delta has recovered financially to such an extent that restoration of the pilot pension plan is warranted.
Lobby the PBGC to restore our pension.
THAT would be money well spent by ALPA-PAC.
