Trustee objects to airline's reorganization plan
In Alexandria, US Airways faces a trustee objection to its bankruptcy reorganization plan. The U.S. Trustee argues the plan improperly shields lawyers and advisers from liability while creditors seek to preserve their rights. The dispute precedes a confirmation hearing as negotiations continue with the pilots union over pension changes and potential cost savings.
