Delta trustee objects to request for retired pilots committee

By Caroline Salls

Pittsburgh, Oct. 20 - Delta Air Lines, Inc.'s U.S. Trustee objected to DP3, Inc.'s request for appointment of a committee of retired pilots for the company's Chapter 11 case, according to a Thursday filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

The trustee said the recently appointed official committee of unsecured creditors is intended to represent the entire unsecured creditor body.

"It is true that the retirees have specific interests in this case that are at odds with other creditors," the trustee said in the objection. "However, all unsecured creditors are united in their desire to investigate and understand the financial affairs of [Delta], and to maximize value."

A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 27.

Delta, an Atlanta-based airline, filed for bankruptcy on Sept. 14. Its Chapter 11 case number is 05-17923.
