About Alabama Aircraft
Birmingham, Alabama-based Alabama Aircraft Industries Inc. --
http://www.alabamaaircraft.com/-- provides aircraft maintenance
and modification services for the U.S. government and military
customers. Its 190-acre facility, including its corporate
offices, is located at the Birmingham International Airport. The
Company currently has 92 salaried employees and 234 hourly
employees. About 251 hourly employees were furloughed since
Jan. 1, 2010.
Alabama Aircraft filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 11-10452) on Feb. 15, 2011. Two
subsidiaries also filed -- Alabama Aircraft Industries, Inc.-
Birmingham (Case No. 11-10453) and Pemco Aircraft Engineering
Services, Inc. (Case No. 11-10454).
The Company said the primary goal of the Chapter 11 filing is
to address long-term indebtedness and, in particular, long-term
pension obligations under the terms of its pension plan. The
Company said it would likely cease operations absent the
elimination of its obligations under the pension plan. The
Company owes $68.5 million to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.
Joel A. Waite, Esq., and Kenneth J. Enos, Esq., at Young, Conaway,
Stargatt & Taylor, in Wilmington, Delaware, serve as counsel to
the Debtors.
Alabama Aircraft estimated assets and debts of $1 million to
$10 million as of the Chapter 11 filing.
Hoping for a sale of the business, AAI canceled an auction for
lack of an acceptable bid. AAI sought a buyer after being
unable to locate an equity investor.

About the Diocese of Milwaukee
The Diocese of Milwaukee was established on Nov. 28, 1843, and
was elevated to an Archdiocese on Feb. 12, 1875, by Pope Pius
IX. The region served by the Archdiocese consists of 4,758 square
miles in southeast Wisconsin which includes counties Dodge, Fond
du Lac, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth,
Washington and Waukesha. There are 657,519 registered Catholics
in the Region.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. E.D. Wisc. Case No.
11-20059) on Jan. 4, 2011, to address claims over sexual abuse
by priests on minors.
The Archdiocese became at least the eighth Roman Catholic diocese
in the U.S. to file for bankruptcy to settle claims from current
and former parishioners who say they were sexually molested by
priests.
Daryl L. Diesing, Esq., at Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S.C., in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serves as the Archdiocese's counsel. The
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the bankruptcy case
has retained Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as its counsel, and
Howard, Solochek & Weber, S.C., as its local counsel.
The Archdiocese estimated assets and debts of $10 million to
$50 million in its Chapter 11 petition.

government regulators. The next day, WaMu and its affiliate, WMI
Investment Corp., filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. D. Del. 08-12229 and 08-12228, respectively). WaMu owns
100% of the equity in WMI Investment. When WaMu filed for

On Jan. 7, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware entered a 107-page opinion determining that the global
settlement agreement, among certain parties including WMI, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., upon which the Plan is premised, and the transactions
contemplated therein, are fair, reasonable, and in the best
interests of WMI. Additionally, the Opinion and related order
denied confirmation, but suggested certain modifications to the
Company's Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors that, if
made, would facilitate confirmation.
Washington Mutual has filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Modified
Sixth Amended Joint Plan and a related Supplemental Disclosure
Statement. The Company believes that the Modified Plan has
addressed the Bankruptcy Court's concerns and looks forward to
returning to the Bankruptcy Court to seek confirmation of the
Modified Plan.

*********
Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual
trades are probably different. Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers"
public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/
On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts. The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.
Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com. Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.
Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.
The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.
