JAL may reduce pension cuts for approval: Nikkei

The airline aims to present its plan for trimming benefits within this year, the paper said. JAL will probably suggest its current employees take a 50 percent cut in pension payouts, the report said.

JAL's pensioners have pledged to reject any proposal that would cut payments by more than 50 percent, according to a Web site run by the Committee to Consider the Revision of JAL's Pension Scheme. More than a third of retirees would vote down such a plan, enough to derail it, according to the Web site.
