Key Employee Retention Program
During the bankruptcy, United management filed for three different Key Employee Retention Programs (KERP) which were billed as programs to keep certain management employees from leaving United during the bankruptcy. AFA fought each of the filings in the bankruptcy court and succeeded in obtaining a limit to the bonus amounts, although the court ultimately approved each of the bonus programs.
