I was very impressed with the while still in bankruptcy mgmt types came and addressed us in my newhire class. I sat next to Dickson at lunch that first day. My ignorant self looked at him and said "I'm sorry, who are you?" His ID was flipped around like all our IDs seem to be weighted to do when you inevitably forget their name. He was very friendly. Meanwhile.... Kolshack... that piece of work... the moment he walked in the room I immediately sensed a snake in the grass. |

I've never heard about this. Do you have any more details? This would be a valuable lesson to those who weren't around.for BK.
The trusts were all fully funded and untouchable by the creditors. Management said it was a "retention program" to keep top talent from leaving a bankrupt company. That's where "SERP" acronym comes from. "Supplemental Executive Retention Program". Except, as soon as their trusts were funded, they all left. |

The executives secretly set up what were called "Secular Trusts" to pay themselves millions right out of the Delta treasury just prior to declaring bankruptcy.

A SERP is a NQDC "top hat" plan typically granted to execs at larger companies. They do NOT conform to the 401(a) rules (thus the Non-Qualified part of NQDC). A SERP is a Supplemental Executive RETIREMENT PLAN. They typically have nothing to do with retention and are ubiquitous at large healthy companies. . |
