They won't like it, but IIRC they are still paid slightly above the industry average. I think it's a shame, but they won't really have a choice. It'll come down to a choice of either a moderate negotiated concession or a severe court-ordered one, and other pilots' unions in that situation have taken the lesser hit.

Sure has been a great few years in the ol' airline industry. It's funny, because I can't think of any other industry whose companies declare bankrupty with BILLIONS in the bank.
