Jsled,
Section 1113 of the US bankruptcy code has no bearing on the EMB-170's that were GIVEN away for nothing by the chairman of the UAL MEC. Without the waiver for the big EMB's I can't imagine Tilton could have scrapped the guppies.
Every MEC has a faction that takes the "I've got mine" approach but UA has perfected that approach more than any I've ever seen.
