A top airline pilot union has signed a deal to end its dispute with former Trans World Airlines pilots who had accused the union of poorly representing them during their integration into American Airlines operations, which bought Trans World Airlines out of bankruptcy in 2001, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. The Air Line Pilots Association has agreed to pay part of a $53 million settlement reach earlier this week with TWA's roughly 2,300 former pilots, who had sued the union over the seniority they got as new American Airlines pilots.
