This is a national issue. The signatory party to alpa pilots working agreements is ALPA.......That is where the gatekeeper resides for this issue.

ANY airline that used bankptcy to relegate an alpa pilot groups pension to the insolvent pbgc should be held accountable in backstopping that benefit payment.

We are not talking about defunct, fragmented carriers..... we are talking about viable multi-billion profitable corporations that USED bankruptcy for arguably the EXPRESS PURPOSE of shedding pension obligations...

If alpa refuses to ratify a Ta without this provison....it can get dun.
