Your source for current legal news and analysis concerning airports and the aviation industry.
Nothing in life is constant, but change.
Things having happily settled down to mere pandemonium, I'm pleased as punch to report we're back up and running (that's the royal "we" I suppose) at The Airport Lawyer, and with new/improved functionality to boot (let's hear it for categories!).
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Queen Sheryl
For various reasons (some personal, some professional), this blog is closing up shop. I will not delete it, but am no longer going to post to it actively. Should anyone be interested in taking it over, please email me at schelinlaw at hotmail dot com, and we will discuss the possibility of taking the appropriate steps to transfer it over to you.
The South Carolina County Attorney's blog will not be affected by this decision.

According to the article, the Chicago federal bankruptcy court had a capacity crowd. United is looking for permission to have the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., the government's pension insurer, take control of the defined-benefit plans. This would, according to the article, result in the "largest-ever U.S. pension default" and could trigger a threatened strike by its work force.
