Corporate Whining
What happened to the notion of the sanctitiy of the contract? USAirways has sought to circumvent labor agreements it made via a judge. USAirways says it will go bankrupt without this. They may well do just that, but trying to wriggle out of an agreement without the consent of the other party, while offering no suggestions of wrongdoing by said party, is just wrong. If the consequences are that dire, then open your books to the other side and prove it. If they stubbornly cling to unrealistic notions about the busienss' future and lose their jobs as you go bankrupt, well, that's how it goes in capitalism. Going running to a judge is just sad. This is what happens in competition - some companies lose - that's the very nature of competition, or did I miss something in my econ classes?
