If Delta files Ch. 11 and targets the Pensions (which I think they will), then I understand that the pilots can retire and take 40% upfront, is this correct?
If so, does anyone know how many pilots are currently eligible for partial, and full retirement? How does this equate into dollars that Delta would have to pay out immediately if this happened?
How would this affect Delta's bottom line if the day after Ch 11, every eligible pilot retires and takes the 40%? Can Delta afford this? Or does Delta have the ability to block such a thing?
Obviously it would be a large amount of $$, but also a large amount of flying that would have to be covered.
