It says that since the filling of bankruptcy, the firm reduced the wages of the pilots and increased their workload. Hence, ALPA organized an alliance with other unions to solicit for changes in the Bankruptcy Code of 1980 and the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, and to deal with the reduction of labor costs.

The article focuses on the failure of the U.S. Railway Labor Act to bind parties into accepting panel recommendations that was underscored by the Trans World Airline's (TWA) refusal to accept an emergency board award made under the law after pilots' strike ended in November 1946. It says that the limitation means that the binding decision will be based on the difference between the wage set by fact-finders and what was the union demanded. TWA demanded increases in hourly pay and mileage pay which were approved by the Air Line Pilots Association.
