NU Online News Service, Feb. 21, 12:49 p.m. – The Air Line Pilots Association International, Alexandria, Va., is fighting efforts by U.S. Airways Group Inc., Arlington, Va., to convert the company’s defined-benefit pension plan for pilots into a defined-contribution plan.
The pilots association is challenging U.S. Airways’ argument that it can terminate the defined-benefit plan without the pilots’ consent, then impose the use of a defined-contribution plan.
