Bottom line: your regular wages for trips you’ve flown are protected in bankruptcy. Once that money hits your account, it’s yours. The clawback rules in the Bankruptcy Code are for weird one-off pre-petition stuff like bonuses, severance, or insider payments. Not your paycheck.
This would not necessarily stop them from doing the ACH. You could then argue it in court, and maybe get your money back a few years (and some attorney fees) later.
It has happened before, and it will happen again. No legal consequences on them, they just claim "misunderstanding" or "clerical error", and the court will sort it out. Eventually.
