OFG because of thru criminally incompetent manner in which alpa had structured our DB plan..... with nearly half the benefit streaming from current year operating revenues..... just like fuel and leases..... it was an argument any 5 year old could have made to the court and prevailed.
That is why.... the morning after the bk filing..... the very first operating expense the corporation asked the court to terminate..... was the payment of the unqualified portion of the pension plan.
And the retired guys got zeroed out immediately.
What I am advocating is an effort to prevent history from repeating itself..... again.
