Effort by American Airlines to Cut Benefits Fails By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS APRIL 18, 2014 A federal judge has rejected an effort by American Airlines to quickly cut off benefits for many of its retirees. American, which is in bankruptcy, wants retirees who wish to keep their benefits to pay all the cost. Now the dispute could go to negotiations or a trial. On Friday, United States Bankruptcy Court Judge Sean H. Lane in New York rejected a request made by American’s former parent, the AMR Corporation, for the right to immediately eliminate retiree benefits for former pilots, flight attendants and other union workers. The judge granted AMR’s request for a group of nonunion workers. The company had 46,930 retirees when it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011. “American will review his ruling and consider next steps related to the retiree health and life insurance benefits,” a company spokesman said in a statement. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
