http://kiplingerforecasts.com/apnews/XmlStoryResult.php?storyid=223666 Pan Am to Officially End Bankruptcy (AP) NEW YORK Pan Am World Airways said Wednesday that it would collect $30 million from the government of Libya and make final payments to creditors by the end of the year, officially ending the company's bankruptcy. Pan Am had pursued civil and criminal action against the Libyan government following the deadly December 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Scotland. The bombing killed 270 people and led to a severe decline in international air traffic for the company. The successful criminal prosecution of a Libyan agent in 2004 allowed the civil lawsuit to move forward. Pan Am instead reached a settlement with the Libyan government that provides the airline's liquidation trust with the funds to be distributed later this year. Pan Am filed for bankruptcy in January 1991 and ceased operations in December of that year. About 15,000 ex-employees of Pan Am are among the creditors who are scheduled to receive distributions. The company said it will begin mailing checks in December.

I did the math, it works out to roughly $2,000/per employee. While it isn't much, it's better than nothing. Who would have thought that after 15 years the employees would finally be getting some form of compensation?

There was a guy who said his father who worked for Pan Am for 20 years died two years ago waiting for his check to come in.

That $30 million is for ALL the creditors, I doubt each employee will receive anything near near $2000. Janice
