That test means that a successful reorganization could not occur unless the plan were terminated. A small supplemental retirement plan is not likely to meet that test. That is why in many chapter 11 filings there is not a concern over termination. With the changes in retirement rules and a plan structured to avoid a run on the bank there would not be much to worry about. Delta currently has huge retirement funding obligations. I don’t hear anyone discussing those plans getting terminated.
