    ‘‘Letting JAL fail would be a humiliation for Japan,’’ Takagi added.

    not really, worst economic recession named "once-in-a-Century"- moreover, Takeoff and Landing is basic for any airlines, let it remain grounded for a decade and may start flying again. This is a small matter if one doesn't get involved emotionally or politically considering that even Nations have gone bankrupt under severe market conditions.

    The government needs to guarantee the pension liabilities, which represent a contract between company and worker backed by the direct contribution of the worker over 20, 30, or more years. Why pensions should be unilaterally targeted for cutback or elimination when they represent a real legal obligation has never made sense to me.

    Promised workers pensions when they retire for decades but then found they don't have the money to deliver? Sounds like the government.

    sk4ek,

    WRONG! Those same workers coasted for decades on tax payers money, THEY are one of the PRIME reasons for what we have today, the pensioners need to reap what they have sown, period. Yes it will hurt but I shud not be obliged to pay the pension of someone who worked/works at JL!

    Priorities of looking good over doing good business never work... I can't understand Japanese business logic sometimes.

    Good one GW. I ditto that. If the government guarantees JAL pensions, then the government should guarantee all our pensions.
