And when Lorenzo abrogated the deal the pilots struck.
You do love your apples and oranges mixed together, Bob....
When Lorenzo rejected the contracts (abrogation wasn't a word in the bankruptcy law back then), the pilots struck because they had no contract. The law was different then - none of todays negotiating, timelines, and still having a binding contract at the end of the process (whether negotiated or imposed). Like any other contract he didn't like, Lorenzo just eliminated the contract so the choice was to work without a contract under terms Lorenzo imposed and could change on a whim or strike since there was no longer a contract. So strike they did. However, as Lorenzo replaced them they decided better to come crawling back than be left out in the cold so reached a negotiated settlement with Lorenzo.
