Judge Rejects Deal with United's Pilots
Friday January 7, 11:53 am ET
CHICAGO (Reuters) - A federal bankruptcy judge on Friday rejected an agreement between UAL Corp. (OTC BB:UALAQ.OB - News) and its pilots union that would have let bankrupt United Airlines cut the pilots' pay by 14 percent and terminate their pension plans.
Judge Eugene Wedoff said the agreement would have inappropriately tilted the bankruptcy process.
The judge was expected to hear arguments later on Friday on whether the airline should be allowed to terminate its collective bargaining agreements with its unions.
