Actually they wont even offer that much and they wont have too once they go into CH 11. They should have been in there already, booted the UAW and the benefits for everybody (past & present), and saved us the billions already. It was exactly what we said it was-throwing money away back when we debated it only a few short months ago. Time for the real answer that was always the clear option.
